Overview
This is a nice crumble topping, and makes enough for two desserts – one large and one small. It’s different to what you usually get, almost granola-like. The fruit can be stewed first to speed up the cooking process (I normally do this). Change the fruit if you like – rhubarb is great. Raisins/sultanas, apricots or peaches are popular but I don’t like them. They’re evil (when cooked). Serve with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
