OAT CRUMBLE TOPPING

Using oats instead of wheat flour is an excellent way to introduce a different texture to your crumble topping. It also serves as a fantastic gluten-free alternative, especially if you use oats that are certified gluten-free.

INGREDIENTS

To prepare the oat crumble topping, gather these ingredients (refer to the recipe card for exact quantities):

  • Rolled oats: Ensure they are certified gluten-free if necessary.
  • Brown sugar: You can also use white sugar, but brown sugar adds a caramelized flavor which is ideal for crumbles.
  • Unsalted butter: Softened
  • Spices: Ground cinnamon and ginger, or your preferred spices.

If you need to ensure the dessert is gluten-free for medical reasons, opt for certified gluten-free oats. While oats are naturally gluten-free, many store-bought varieties may contain traces of gluten.

Recipe FAQs:

Can I use canned apricots instead of fresh?
I haven’t personally tried making this apricot crumble with canned apricots, but it should work fine. Make sure to drain them well to remove excess syrup. Taste them to adjust the added sugar, as canned apricots are often sweetened.

How to store this stone fruit crumble:

  • This dessert is best served warm, straight from the oven. Any leftovers should be refrigerated once cooled, either covered or transferred to an airtight container. The crumble will stay fresh for up to 3 days in the fridge.
  • You can also prepare it ahead of time (ideally 1 day ahead for best freshness) and reheat it in the oven before serving. If preparing ahead, slightly under bake the crumble initially and finish baking it covered with aluminum foil. Individual portions can be reheated in the microwave for about a minute.

Apricot crumble with oat topping can be served on its own as a comforting dessert, or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It’s a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed throughout the year, adapting to different fruits based on the season.
