\"recipe<\/p>\n

Apricot crumble<\/strong> is the ultimate quick and easy summer dessert! This express recipe requires no pastry skills and very few ingredients. In no time at all, your crumble is ready to go into the oven, leaving you free to prepare the rest of the meal.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the perfect quick and easy dessert to round off a summer meal without spending hours in the kitchen: after a barbecue, chicken skewers, garlic shrimp or even shakshuka, it adds that sweet, fruity touch everyone loves.<\/p>\n

I love this simple and delicious dessert, which I often make with different fruits depending on the season. Our all-time favorite is still apple crumble<\/a>, but as soon as apricots are back in season, I can\u2019t resist making this version to share with the whole family!

What is a crumble?<\/h2>\n

A crumble refers to the crumbly topping that you sprinkle over fruit before baking. Once baked, you get a delicious contrast: a soft, juicy layer of fruit underneath and a golden, crispy crumble on top.<\/p>\n

Making crumble topping is really simple. You only need a few basic ingredients: sugar (brown sugar works best for its lovely caramel flavour), flour or a mix of flour and almond meal, and cold butter. I always like to add a pinch of fleur de sel from Gu\u00e9rande to really bring out the flavours.<\/p>\n

You can prepare the crumble topping in no time using a food processor, just pulse the ingredients a few times until you get a coarse, crumbly texture. Alternatively, you can rub the mixture together with your fingertips.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, I shape the dough into a ball and grate it with a large grater or pass it through a coarse sieve to get an even more rustic, uneven crumble texture, extra delicious!<\/p>\n
