Ingredients
  

  • 4 lb Fruit of Choice e.g. apple, pear, peach, nectarine, plum, apricot
  • 100 g AP Flour divided
  • 8 oz Butter divided
  • 6 packets Flavored Instant Oats e.g. Maple Brown Sugar, Cinnamon Spice
  • 150 g Stale Unfilled Cookies** optional. If not using, increase AP Flour by 75g and add 2 more packets of Oats
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon optional
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger optional
  • d Lemon, Lime, or Orange, zested and juiced optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
    Peel (optional) and cube fruit. Toss with 50g AP Flour, spices, and citrus (if using). Set aside.
  • In bowl of processor fitted with blade attachment, pulverize cookies until stale. Add 50g AP flour, baking soda, 6 tablespoon butter, and oats. Process until crumbly.
    Alternatively, you can use a mallot to smash cookies if you don't have a processor. Then add remaining ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork.
    **If you are not using cookies, process 8 packets of oats, 125g AP flour, baking soda and 6 tablespoon butter.
  • Grease 9x13 baking dish with remaining butter. (You can also use multiple smaller dishes if you're divvying up between folks). Leave whatever is left in the pan for added richness.
    Add fruit to dish, then top with crumble mixture.
  • Bake at 350F for about 35 minutes, until crumble is golden and fruit is tender. If crumble is browning too quickly, cover lightly with foil to stop it from burning.
  • Serve warm, with ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
