But has to be proper home made with skin, not the commercial junk you get in cafes / restaurants.

Today's crumble was a wonky mixed fruit one which was rather tasty

My crumble rules:
1. Custard with crumble fresh from the oven, cream when it’s cold. The latter good on a cycle ride.
2. Demerara a very good choice for the crumble mix.
3. Never put cinnamon in an apple crumble.
4. Overripe banana: mash & mix 50:50 with plain yogurt and a little sugar, yum-yum.

Very nice, although I prefer a 70:30 crumble:fruit ratio
I tried your suggestion of banana crumble tonight. Had really ripe bananas left over and put some cinnamon in the crumble, mixed spice in the bananas (with half a cooking apple) and lots of vanilla in the custard.
My verdict: bloody divine! Thank you 👍

Another crumble today smashed some crunchy nut cornflakes up and added to the crumble mixture.
Then I made one plain apple crumble and a ramakin sized one with raisins , apple and a teaspoon of peanut butter in to see what it's like.

I'm having crack at a rhubarb and banana crumble later.
I got rhubarb and a job lot of bananas on yellow sticker earlier in the week, so almost seems rude not to...

And I'm reporting back to say that it was just sooooooo gooooooood
Will admit I was sceptical about putting bananas in a crumble, because my experiences of bananas in things like jams and chutneys hasn't exactly been terribly stellar. But I'm definitely won over by this and will be making it again.

I bbq a lot, once the main cook is done I often chuck a crumble on the bbq while we eat dinner.

Plum crumble is
Plum crumble is one of my favourites. But then I do have plenty of plum trees in the garden.
I'm off in a bit to see if the organic veg chap has any rhubarb. I fancy another rhubarb and banana crumble.

I've got a bunch of about-to-go-off bananas and I'm wondering what to pair them with this time after my (delicious) banana and apple crumble a while back. I'm thinking either rhubarb, blackberries, pineapple or blueberries (or a combination thereof)....
And should it be custard, cream or ice cream
What do you crumble aficionados reckon?
