THE CRUNCHIEST SUMMER FRUIT CRUMBLE
The secret to this fruit crumble is to bake the sweet, cinnamon-scented topping separately, to dry it out. Then when you pile those crumbs over a mound of juicy summer fruit, they won't absorb as much liquid, and stay crisp and cookielike. You can make the crumbs a day ahead. But the crumble is best baked on the day you serve it, preferably while still a little warm and brimming with syrupy fruit. Make sure to taste your fruit before adding the sugar. Sweeter fruit like strawberries, cherries and blueberries need less sugar than tart plums and nectarines. A spoonful of whipped cream or ice cream makes this even better.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make the topping: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugars, salt and spices. Stir in butter. Using your hands, squish mixture until coarse crumbs form. Some should be about 1/2-inch in size, some smaller.
- Spread topping in one layer onto a rimmed baking sheet. (You don't have to grease it first.) Bake until crumbs are solid when you gently poke them, and are fragrant, about 15 minutes. They won't change appearance very much. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack to cool while you make the filling. (Crumbs can be baked up to 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.)
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and cornstarch until well combined. Add fruit and gently toss to coat with the sugar mixture. Pour filling into an ungreased 2-quart gratin dish or 10-inch cake pan, mounding the fruit in the center.
- Spoon crumbs over filling and place the crumble dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any overflowing juices. (You can use the same baking sheet you cooked the crumbs on.) Bake until filling bubbles energetically around the edges, about 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream, if you like. Crumble can be made up to 8 hours ahead and kept at room temperature, or warmed up briefly in a 350-degree oven.
BUTTERED BREADCRUMBS
Buttered breadcrumbs can be used to top casseroles and au gratin dishes or as garnish for vegetables. For extra rich buttered breadcrumbs, double the amount of butter. This uses Soft Breadcrumbs which I posted separately. Variations: Add to taste grated parmesan cheese, minced parsley, minced toasted walnuts, toasted almonds or toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
- Stir together fruits, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla and place in a buttered shallow 2-quart baking dish.
- Stir together oats, flour, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture forms small clumps. Scatter over fruit and bake until juices are bubbling and topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
Tips:
- Use ripe, seasonal fruits for the best flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the fruit, as it should still retain some of its shape.
- If you don't have any fresh fruit, you can use frozen or canned fruit instead.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. If you like your fruit tart, you can add more sugar. If you prefer it less sweet, you can add less sugar or omit it altogether.
- Be sure to use unsalted butter for the buttered crumbs. Salted butter will make the crumbs too salty.
- If you don't have any all-purpose flour, you can use whole wheat flour or oat flour instead.
- Serve the stewed fruit warm or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Stewed fall fruit with buttered crumbs is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is also a great way to use up any leftover fruit that you have on hand. With its sweet and tangy flavor and crunchy topping, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
