Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients with your fingers or a fork: flour, oatmeal or barley flakes, almond meal, baking soda, baking powder, brown sugar
- Add soft butter to dry ingredients and work it in with your fingers until it is moist enough to stick together when you squeeze it in your hand. If not moist enough or you want a sturdier, less crumbly result (if you are baking in a springform for example) beat one egg and add it to the mix.
- Place in preheated 375° oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crumble top is golden in spots, the bottom crust is nicely browned and the jam is bubbling. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
Recipe Notes
This recipe is extremely versatile. You can use AP or barley or spelt flour instead of the GF mix. You can change the context of the dish by varying the amount of jam you use and the type of baking pan. For example, if you use less jam and bake it in a rectangular pan you get bar cookies. Use a pie plate with a thick layer of jam and you have a pie. Add the egg to the crumble, use a springform pan, and remove the dessert from the springform and you get a "cake" to serve on a plate.
