Chef's Tips

For a nuttier flavor, add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumble topping.

If the crumble topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the baking dish loosely with foil.

This crumble is also delicious served with vanilla ice cream or custard instead of crème fraîche.

For a richer crumble topping, replace some of the oats with almond flour.
