My grandma’s favorite flavor combination was strawberry rhubarb, so this one is for her.
You can also make this crumble with apples and pluots, peaches and blueberries, or any fruit combinations you’re curious to try.
It’s easy to put together for an elegant and delicious dessert!
I made this as part of the showstopper challenge from the great British bake-off, season 1, episode 4 (pudding week!)
The task was to make 3 kinds of pudding: bread, crumble, and suet. I changed the suet pudding to a steamed pudding because suet is gross. All the recipes will be posted here if you want to give them a try.
Great British Bakeoff Vegan: Season 1, Episode 4, Showstopper
Ingredients
Fruit layer
- 3 apples or 1 bunch rhubarb, chopped
- 2 pluots or 1/2 pound strawberries, chopped
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla
Crumble topping
- ¾ cup vegan butter or margarine
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup whole wheat or any other kind of flour
- 1 cup oats
Directions
Mix all the fruit layer ingredients together and spread them into a greased 8×8″ pan.
Mix all the crumble topping ingredients together and sprinkle the mixture evenly over top of the fruit layer.
Press down firmly to seal the fruit in and get a nice crunchy top layer.
Bake at 350F for 45 minutes, until the edges are brown and the sauce starts to bubble.
Cool for 5 minutes, then enjoy warm with a glass of plant-based milk or a scoop of non-dairy ice cream!
Inspiration
For today’s inspiration, here’s something my British Grandma used to tell me in hard times:
“Life gives you challenges in proportion to your strength.”
If times get tough, we get stronger to meet them.Wishing you an extra dose of strength today, whatever you’re experiencing.
