Plum Crumble

60 minutes

Plum crumble is a refined French dessert where juicy, caramelized plums combine with a crispy golden topping made of oats, flour, and butter. Its roots trace back to English culinary traditions, but France has added its elegance and charm. The flavor of this crumble is a balance of sweetness, the slight tartness of plums, and the creamy aroma of dough infused with delicate maple syrup. It is served warm, often with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of thick cream. It is perfect as a cozy home dessert, especially on cool evenings when one craves something warming and comforting.
