PLUM-NECTARINE CRUMBLE WITH HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Make the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Toss the nectarines, plums, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, lemon juice and salt in a large bowl.
• Make the topping: Combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl, then stir in the hazelnuts. Work in the butter with your fingers until clumpy.
• Spread the filling and any juices in the prepared dish. Pinch handfuls of the topping into clumps and scatter over the filling. Bake until the topping is browned and the filling is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

• Make the filling: Toss the blueberries, granulated sugar, flour and lemon juice in a bowl.
• Transfer the filling to the prepared dish or ramekins and dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Squeeze handfuls of the crumble mixture and scatter on top of the fruit. Bake until golden and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Let sit 10 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

SPICED PLUM & BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE

Steps:

• First, make the crumble topping. Put the flour and butter in a food processor and pulse to the texture of wet sand. Tip into a bowl and add the sugar and oats. Sprinkle the mixture with 2 tbsp cold water, then use a fork to mix everything together, creating a crumbly texture with a few large clumps. Chill until needed.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip all the fruit ingredients, except the blackberries, into a large ovenproof dish. Add 50ml water, cover with foil and bake for 1 hr. Remove the foil and discard star anise. Add the blackberries to the dish, sprinkle over the crumble mixture and return to the oven for a further 25-30 mins until the top is golden. Serve hot with custard.
