Lactose-free apple crumble with plums
Instructions
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.
Questions about lactose-free apple crumble with plums
New to fruit crumbles? Whether you are a novice cook or a seasoned baker, this recipe for lactose-free apple crumble with plums is tasty and simple to make! Keep reading to learn more about it.
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.
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.
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.
