Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4.5 oz (130 g) fresh gooseberries, halved
  • 1 small golden apple, diced (about 4 oz (113 g))
  • 0.5 cups (75 g) fresh raspberries
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 cups (20 g) rolled oats
  • 0.25 cups (40 g) almonds, processed into coarse meal
  • 0.25 cups (40 g) whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.125 cups (40 g) plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C). Lightly grease two small ramekins or a medium-sized baking dish with butter. Set them aside.
  2. For the Fruit Filling:
  3. Wash the gooseberries, halve them, and remove any stems. Dice the apple into small, evenly sized cubes. In a large bowl, gently toss together the gooseberries, apple, raspberries, brown sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. For the Crumble Topping:
  5. In a food processor, pulse the almonds until they are ground into a coarse meal. Alternatively, chop them finely by hand. In a separate bowl, combine the ground almonds, rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Slowly add the yogurt to the dry ingredients, mixing with a fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. If the crumble seems too dry, add more yogurt or a tablespoon of melted butter.
  6. For the Assemble the Crumble:
  7. Divide the fruit filling evenly between your prepared ramekins or baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble mixture generously over the fruit, ensuring it covers the filling completely.
  8. For Baking:
  9. Place the ramekins or baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the crumble topping turns golden brown and crisp. The fruit should be bubbly.
  10. For Cooling and Serving:
  11. Let the crumbles cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve as is, or pair with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of crème fraîche.

Notes

  • If gooseberries are unavailable, substitute with a tart berry like blackcurrants or cranberries.
  • For a richer crumble, use all whole wheat flour in the topping.
  • To make ahead, prepare the crumble topping and fruit filling separately; combine and bake just before serving.
