Tips & Variations

  • Use frozen berries if fresh are not available, but avoid thawing them to prevent excess juice.
  • Try swapping peaches for nectarines or plums depending on the season and your preference.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the crumble mix for a warm spice twist.

Storage
