Fruit Crumble (Thermomix)

Topping

100g plain flour
80g butter, cut up into pieces and nice and cold
50g sugar
2 small handfuls porridge oats
1 small handful of desiccated coconut (my secret ingredient - oops)
flaked almonds to scatter on top

Fruit of your choice - apples, pears, plums, berries or a mixture

A rectangular pyrex baking dish or similar

Prepare the fruit, removing the peel and cutting into small chunks, and place it in the dish so it comes near to the top.  It is not necessary to precook the fruit. If the apples are not too sweet you might mix a little sugar into the fruit but I never do this.

Preheat the oven  to 180 deg fan

1. Place flour, butter and a small handful of oats in the bowl.
Pulse on Turbo, 1 sec., once.  You should get a reasonably evenly amalgamated mixture with maybe a few small lumps of butter.

2. Add to the bowl the sugar, coconut and remaining oats and mix
at speed 2 for 5 seconds. Check everything is nicely mixed together or swirl the bowl round to mix.

3. Spread the crumble evenly over the fruit. Sprinkle evenly and generously with flaked almonds.

4. Bake at the top of the oven for 40 minutes or until the top is pale golden and the fruit is bubbling.

5. Serve with thick cream.
