Notes

This recipe is hugely adaptable. If you only want to make a small crumble you can save any leftover crumble topping in the freezer. You can then use it from frozen next time you want to make a crumble.
Best served with custard or ice cream.
Keeps very well in the fridge for up 2 days.
Make the crumble topping ahead of time and store it in the freezer and bake from frozen. (It will still be malleable).
Reheat in the microwave.
