Ingredients

• 100g plain flour
• 50g rolled oats
• 100g butter
• 50g light brown soft sugar, plus a little extra if needed

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
2. Add your flour, oats, butter cubes and sugar to a bowl, and using your fingers, squash together to make a crumble texture. 
3. Sprinkle your crumble mixture over a baking tray and bake for approximately 10 minutes, stirring and breaking up halfway through cooking. 
4. Once cooked. Stir through your flaked almonds (if using).
5. Whilst your crumble top is cooking, you should sprinkle ground almonds over the base of an ovenproof dish, then spoon your selected fruit on top. If your berries are sour, then sprinkle over some brown sugar to sweeten.
