🥧 How To Make Spiced Fig & Raspberry Crumble

  1. Preheat the oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter a 9-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, toss together figs, raspberries, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour into the prepared dish.
  3. Make the crumble topping: In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold butter and rub it into the mixture with your fingers or a pastry cutter until it forms coarse crumbs. Stir in nuts if using.
  4. Assemble: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling.

  6. Cool slightly: Let rest for 10 minutes before serving warm.
