Plum Crumble

Plum crumble is a fragrant and crispy dessert from British cuisine. Its history began during World War II when traditional pies became a luxury due to ingredient shortages. Crumble became a wonderful alternative, preserving the rich flavor of fruits and an appetizing crunchy crust. In this version, tender plums baked with cinnamon gain caramel sweetness, while the crumbly layer of flour, butter, sugar, and oats adds textural harmony. Crumble can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of thick cream, creating the perfect balance of flavors and temperatures. It is ideal as a morning dessert or a cozy end to dinner. The simplicity of preparation makes it accessible even for beginner cooks, while its rich flavor keeps bringing you back for more.
