Apricot crumble

recipe

• Step 1
  Take the butter out of the fridge so gets to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, add: the flour, 3/4 sugar, a pinch of salt and the butter. Rub everything together using your fingers until you have a sandy texture.
• Step 2
  Wash and quarter the apricots, removing the stones. Add the rest of the sugar to the apricots, then add them to an oven-proof dish, a proportionate size to the quantity of fruit. The ideal crumble should have a 4-5cm layer of fruit.
• Step 3
  Sprinkle the crumble mixture on top. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the crumble when the top is nice and golden.
• Step 4
  Eat hot or cold, alone or with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of crème fraîche.
