...what flavour filling do you like the best?

i'm taking dessert for a sunday roast a friend is making and can't decide what to put in it.

also, does anyone make the topping in a food processor?

Strawberry and apple is my fav. I started a whle thread about crumble in F&D on HB last year, I think I started a crumble craze!

mmm that sounds good, my mum used to make blackberry and apple which was also nice.

don't think strawbs are in season here at the moment though

i like the sound of crazee crumble though!

I lurve rhubarb, which would be out of season for you :(.

But reckon you can't beat apple with some cinnamon and mixed spice in the topping.

I also put rolled oats in my topping - does anyone else? I really love the texture it gives.

Apricot, peach and any other stone fruit is luscious too.

Apricot crumble is my fav; delish!

I put oats sometimes in my topping too, or toasted nuts.

I do the oat thing too. reckon it's just as easy to use your hands to make the crumble Bisy - by the time you've faffed around getting the food processer out/set up etc.

enjoy!

I like Apple and cinnamon but love pear and cinnamon. I use my hands to make the topping plus I add oats and nuts sometimes with a sprinkle of cinnamon!

I love cinnamon can you tell?

I add porridge oats and also coconut to my crumble topping! Got to be rhubarb for me...

oooh dilemma dilemma! was going to do apricot (how lush is that!) but couldn't find them in the shops grrrrrr.

so it might have to be something a bit less exotic. can't remember seeing rhubarb either - you'd wouldn't think it was that hard would you??!!

might have to try adding oats as well then, does it make it more crunchy or something?

bookie i would normally do it by hand but i really hate the feel of that kind of thing on my fingers and under my nails

not sure why, it just freaks me out

so i thought it might be a good excuse to try our new food processor out

not as bad as bread soaked in water, which when I feed to the birds in the morning DH makes me crumble up with my hands.... I hate soggy bread at the best of times but this makes me feel really

cooking should be a pleasurable experience hun - so get your food processer out then!
