Fruit crumble is one of those easy desserts that is great any time of year. And this Apple and Strawberry Crumble uses summer strawberries mixed with autumn apples. The perfect transition dessert that will fit into any time of year.
Crumbles are one of the easiest desserts to make. If you’re ever in the mood for pie but not the effort, make a crumble. You just have to chop the fruit and make a super easy crumble topping that just takes minutes. Then just pop it in the oven and wait for the deliciousness!
Another great thing about crumbles, you can use pretty much any fruit. So, it’s a dessert that lends itself to being seasonal. Even better! And if you love cobblers like my Homemade Peach Cobbler, you’ll love this!

Cut Up The Fruit
You can even make this before hand and pop it in the fridge before baking. Literally just toss all the cut up fruit together in a baking dish and squeeze over a little lemon juice. Easy.
Make the Crumble Topping
You can put the crumble topping together with your hands or in a food processor. Personally, you just just do it with your hands in minutes. But like I say, if you prefer, you can use a food processor for this step if it makes like easy.
Ready For The Oven
Now you can put it in the fridge until baking later if you like. If baking straight away, bake in a preheated 350 degree f/180 degree c oven for around 45 – 50 minutes.
Fresh From The Oven
Straight out of the oven and ready to enjoy!
It’s best to let it sit for about 10 minutes before cutting into it because it’s so hot.
Great served with ice cream, fresh whipped cream or custard. A dessert you’ll want to keep making.
