Easy Mix-N-Match Crumble

Ingredients:

• Fruit layer:
• 3-4 cups fruit, fresh or frozen [eg, peeled apples, pears, peaches, apricots, plums, mangoes; raspberries, cranberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, pineapple]
• 1 T sugar, white or brown
• 1 T flour
• 1 tsp of any combination of the following: cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, cardamon, pumpkin pie spice, mace
• A squirt [about 1 tsp] of any citrus juice
• Zest of 1/2 an orange, lime or lemon [optional, but adds a wonderful freshness]
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• Pinch salt
• Crumble topping:
• 1/4 cup flour [Any kind will do: whole wheat, gluten-free, spelt, white]
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 3-4 T sugar, brown or white
• 2 T Earth Balance, cubed or 2 T coconut oil
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts [optional]
• Some flavor combination ideas:
• Peach-Raspberry
• Mango-Pineapple [Use coconut oil for the full tropical experience]
• Apple-Pear-Almond
• Mixed Berry [strawberry, raspberry. blueberry, blackberry]
• Pistachio-Plum

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a pie pan, or an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9-inch baking pan. Set aside.

Cut larger fruits, like apples or pears, into berry-sized dice. Mix all prepared fruit in a medium bowl with other fruit layer ingredients, and pour into your prepared pan.

In a small bowl, mix all crumble ingredients. Squish in the Earth Balance with your fingers or a pastry cutter, but don't get too obsessed about mixing it all in. Small clumps are fine. Scatter crumble topping above fruit layer.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until topping is golden. I think crumbles taste best when served warm.
