Summer berry crumble is a delicious dessert. It's made from a layer of sweet summer fruits with a crunchy, buttery oat topping. It is especially enjoyable as a seasonal pudding, but you can make it from frozen summer fruits all year round.
20cm round pie dish or use 4 individual oven proof dishes

1tablespooncornflour
1tablespoonsugaror honey or maple syrup
Crumble topping
150gporridge oatscertified GF if required
50gbutter, well softened
1 tablespoonsugar (white or brown)
½teaspooncinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees (150 fan)
Add the frozen berries to a bowl, and add the cornflour and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix gently to coat the fruit, and tip into a shallow oven proof dish.
In a food processor, briefly blitz the softened butter, sugar, cinnamon and oats to mix (go gently as you don't want the oats to turn into flour).
Cover the fruit with the crumble topping, and bake for 30 minutes.
Notes
If using fresh summer berries, wash and remove any stems. If any of the fruit is particularly large, cut into smaller pieces.
Adjust the sweetness to suit. If you are using more tart fruits such as blackcurrants you might want to add a little more sugar.
If you want to make the crumble topping by hand, soften the butter in a pan, then mix in the oats, sugar and cinnamon.
