A big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top is optional, but do everything you can to make it happen.
This is quite possibly the epitome of the perfect summer dessert when cherries are their sweetest.
Ingredients for Fresh Cherry-Berry Crumble
The topping is the best, thick and crumbly. It’s made of dark brown sugar, flour, oats, butter, cinnamon and salt.
And the filling is simple – you’ll need fresh cherries and raspberries, sugar, water and cornstarch for thickening.
How to Make Fresh Cherry-Berry Crumble
Make the crumble using your hands. All ingredients are tossed into a bowl and smushed together with your fingers to make clumps.
The fresh fruit filling is simmered on the stovetop to soften the fruit before it goes in to the ramekins.
Top each ramekin with the crumble and bake until fruit is bubbling.
Let cool slightly before serving and top with vanilla ice cream.
Recipe Tips
Make sure the butter is softened before making the crumble.
Use old-fashioned oats, not quick cooking oats for the crumble.
Use a cherry pitter to pit your cherries.
Cover your baking tray in aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Crumbles should cool at least twenty minutes on a cooling rack before serving so juices thicken. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
