Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Drain the fruit well – too much liquid = soggy crumble.
Don’t overmix the crumble – you want texture, not dust!
Make ahead – assemble in the morning, cover, and bake later in the day.
Fridge storage – keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing – cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Reheating – reheat in the oven for crisp topping, or microwave for a quick fix.
