Strawberry Apple Graham Crumble

Strawberry Apple Graham Crumble

I had my daughter in mind when I came up with this tempting crumble recipe. Olivia loves anything with a graham crumb base so I decided to turn that idea on it's head and incorporate the crumbs into a buttery crumble topping for some apples and strawberries. Delicious with some ice cream or whipped cream, this dessert was well appreciated as the end of a weekend family brunch we hosted this weekend. This would also make a great pot-luck dish to take along, warm out of the oven.

Serves 12

Mix together:

2/3 cup sugar

2 tbsp corn starch

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Toss together with

4 cups ripe strawberries

5-6 apples, peeled and cut into wedges

Spread evenly into the bottom of a deep dish 9x13 glass baking pan (or similar large sized pan)

Crumble

In a large bowl toss together:
2 tsp baking powder
1 2/3 cups graham cracker crumbs ( digestive biscuit crumbs work well too)
2 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
Using your hands, rub thoroughly through the dry ingredients:
1 ½ cups butter, cut in small cubes.

 Press the crumble mixture together in handfuls so that it holds together and break off chunks of crumble all over the top of the prepared fruit. Bake for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling, even at the center of the dish as well as the sides. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
