Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  • Place apples and plums into an oven-proof dish and mix with maple syrup and lemon juice.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping over to cover the fruit. Transfer to the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until golden.

Tip

The key to a good crumble topping is to combine the ingredients until they form large, coarse crumbs. Mix the topping by hand with cold butter until it resembles wet sand or breadcrumbs.

Tip

It is delicious when served warm, almost straight out of the oven. However, make sure to let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and the topping to crisp up.

Do you use fresh or frozen fruit for a crumble?
Fresh and frozen fruit are both good in a recipe like our lactose-free apple and plum crumble. Fresh fruit is often preferred when it is in season but if it is not available or in season, you can easily use frozen fruit. You do not have to thaw it beforehand. Simply use the frozen fruit like you would fresh – although if it is not already cut or sliced, you might need to let it thaw slightly first.
Can you freeze lactose-free apple and plum crumble?
If you have leftovers of this delicious dessert, it is easy to freeze and reheat for a quick and low-effort treat. The plum and apple crumble can be frozen either baked or unbaked for up to 3 months. If already baked, allow it to cool to room temperature before freezing. Wrap in individual portions or the whole thing in one with cling film and aluminium foil to prevent freezer burn. When you are ready to enjoy the crumble, remove it from the freezer and thaw it in the fridge overnight.
What to serve with lactose-free apple crumble with plums?
Fruit crumbles can be served with a variety of sides, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or custard. We opted for a creamy dollop of lactose-free crème fraiche. It has a slightly tangy and full taste that perfectly complements the tart juicy fruit and the crispy sweet crumble topping.
