Plum crumble is a very quick and very tasty dessert. I admit that plums are not exactly my favorite fruit, but prepared like this they really make a quick and delightful little treat. It only takes a few ingredients, no eggs, and if you use the right tricks it’s not even very caloric. Now let’s see how to make the plum crumble in the recipe that follows.
- Difficulty: Very easy
- Cost: Very inexpensive
- Preparation time: 10 Minutes
- Cooking time: 25 Minutes
- Portions: 6
- Cooking methods: Electric oven
- Cuisine: German
- Seasonality: Autumn, Winter
Ingredients
- 2 lb 3 oz lb red plums
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (00 style)
- 1/2 cup sugar (I use sweetener)
- 7 tbsp butter (I use 40% fat)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Steps
Begin preparing your plum crumble by washing, drying and slicing the plums with the skin on. Arrange the slices in a baking pan of about 11 in diameter, or, as I did, in two ceramic cocottes of about 6 1/4 in diameter. Sprinkle in one teaspoon of cinnamon and mix, then level the fruit and continue with the crumble preparation.
In a bowl combine the flour, sugar (I use sweetener), butter cut into pieces and one teaspoon of cinnamon. With your hands begin to “work” the mixture until clumps form; don’t worry if they are different sizes. At this point scatter the clumps over the fruit and your plum crumble is ready to be baked at 356°F (conventional mode) for about 20 minutes. After this time switch the oven to broil (grill), raise the temperature to 392°F and let it cook for about 5-10 minutes so a nice golden color forms on top.

Those who follow me know I don’t like very sweet desserts, so for me these amounts are perfect. If you prefer sweeter desserts, you can sweeten the plums a bit with 1-2 teaspoons of sugar or sweetener.
