Autumn Fruit Crumble with Oatmeal and Cinnamon, Served with Whipped Cream
Serves 2. A warm crumble of seasonal fruit with a crunchy layer of oatmeal and a hint of cinnamon. Served with fluffy whipped cream. The sparkling red and black fruit tones of the alcohol-free red wine from Xivi Merlot are a perfect counterpart to the warm, spicy flavours of the crumble.
Ingredients
- 500g autumn fruit (e.g. apples, pears, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 100g oatmeal
- 50g flour
- 75g butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 50g brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 200ml whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Peel and cut the fruit into pieces. Mix the fruit in a large bowl with the sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Place the fruit mixture in a baking dish.
- In another bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the cubes of butter and rub them into the dry ingredients with your fingers until a crumbly dough forms.
- Spread the crumble evenly over the fruit in the baking dish. Bake the crumble in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy and the fruit is bubbling.
- Whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until use.
- Serve the warm autumn fruit crumble with a generous spoonful of fluffy whipped cream.
