Cherry Crumble Using Fresh Fruit Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt butter or margarine in a large saucepan. Remove pan from heat; stir in oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt until a dry, crumbly dough forms. Press about 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of 9 inch square pan, making a firm even layer.
• Spread cherry pie filling in the crust, and sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until top is lightly browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Set your oven rack to the lowest level and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, oats, coconut, brown sugar and salt once or twice to combine. Pour over the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract and coconut extract and pulse just until combined.
• Press two thirds of the dough into the bottom of your prepared baking pan. Spread an even layer of jam onto the base layer of dough, then squeeze and crumble the remaining dough overtop.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and jam is bubbling. Allow the bars to cool completely before lifting out of the pan and cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350*F.
• Toss cherries with granulated sugar and place in an ovenproof dish.
• Combine flour, ginger, cinnamon and Demerara sugar.
• Using your fingertips (or the food-processor) rub butter into flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
• Sprinkle mixture over fruit.
• Bake at 350*F for 35-40 minutes or until golden.
• Serve hot or cold with cream or custard.

Steps:

• Tip the cherries into a medium-sized ovenproof dish (around 28cm) and mix with the sugar, lemon and vanilla. Set aside.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Tip the flour and butter into a mixing bowl and rub together with your fingertips to create a fine, breadcrumb-like mixture. Stir through the salt, brown sugar, oats and most of the almonds. Tip over the cherry mixture, then top with the remaining almonds.
• Bake the crumble in the centre of the oven for 30-35 mins or until the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
