Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. First make the crumble topping by gently rubbing the butter, flour and ground almonds together in a large mixing bowl until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir through the sugar and amaretti biscuits then set aside.
Step 2
Place all the filling ingredients together in an ovenproof baking dish roughly 28cm by 21cm and mix together well.
Step 3
Cook the fruit in the oven without the crumble topping for 15 mins to soften, then remove and scatterer over the crumble mix.
Step 4
Return to the oven for a further 30 mins.
Step 5
Remove and set aside for 5 mins before serving. This dessert is great with vanilla ice cream or thick fresh custard.
Step 6
Cook’s tip: This will freeze easily and you can also make individual portions. Try swapping the fruits – apricots and peaches work really well with the amaretti.
