Ingredients
- 12 ounces unsalted butter , (1 1/2 cups) cold or room temperature, but if using cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and rub the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until well mixed and crumbly. Be sure to get all the butter incorporated so there are no large chunks of butter.
- Spoon the crumble mixture into a freezer safe container (we used zip lock freezer bags), and place in the freezer until ready to use.
- Your crumble will last up to a year in the freezer. Just scoop out what you need and reseal the rest. No need to thaw the crumble before baking.
To use your crumble
- Add the fruit filling of your choice to a baking pan, filling the pan about 2/3 of the way full. Then top generously with your frozen crumble (don't thaw it first.) I like to mound the crumble on the fruit, because everything will shrink down in the oven. Bake at 375F for about 25-30 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and juicy and the topping is starting to turn golden.
Notes
Double or even triple the recipe for a year's worth of amazing crumbles on demand!
