Notes
Tips
- Don't skip greasing the baking dish with a little butter before adding the fruit. This isn't so much to stop the fruit sticking, what it does is create caramelised fruit juices, the combination of the fruit, butter, and a little honey adds yummy caramel flavours to the crumble.
- Cook the crumble in the middle of the oven, don't use the top racks, otherwise, the crumble topping can cook more quickly than the fruit.
Substitutes
- Honey: the honey can be substituted for maple syrup or a little sugar.
- Feijoas: As this is a feijoa crumble I'd advise using at least some feijoas, but you can definitely combine the feijoas with stewed apples if you don't have quite enough feijoas.
- Butter: This recipe will work with dairy-free margarine or coconut oil.
- Flour: This can be substituted for any gluten-free flour if needed.
- Brown sugar: This can be substituted for any granulated sugar.
- Almonds: I love to add nuts to my crumble, I like the little bit of extra plant-based nutrition they add, you can sub them for any nuts, or leave them out if you wish.
