You just can’t beat a good crumble at this time of year and plum is one of our favourites. Delicious fruit desserts are just so hearty and warming in the autumn and winter.
We always buy far too many plums and this is the perfect way to use them up – such a hearty, warming dessert that the whole family will love.
Crumbles are such a hearty dessert and one that is so traditional over the winter but we love them all year round, just varying the main ingredient to suit the season. We have a lovely nectarine crumble recipe and also a strawberry and vanilla crumble that are fantastic for the warmer months.
How to make plum crumble
This easy crumble topping has a really lovely mix of oats and nuts added to it, making it so sweet and moreish compared to a more traditional crumble recipe. The crunchy crumble topping still has all the standard crumble ingredients too – butter, sugar and all purpose flour. Although we use brown sugar or demerera sugar for a deeper flavour.
It’s a topping that works well whether you’re having an apple crumble, rhubarb crumble or even this plum crumble. You could even add a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if you wanted. It really is a lovely recipe to enjoy at home.
How do you serve this easy plum crumble?
This crumble is best to simply serve warm with custard but vanilla ice cream can be a real treat too. Crumbles are always our favourite family dessert recipes – full of fruit and delicious!

Ooh I love a crumble. I usually do blackberry and apple, not sure I’ve ever done a plum one, I might have to try it.
