Notes

Add Citrus - We like to sometimes add sumac (pronounced soo-mak) for a hint of citrus. If you don't have sumac, you can also use a splash of lemon juice or a 1/2 tsp of freshly grated lemon rind for a little zing.
Chunks or Half Moons - You can either chop the fruit into chunks or slice into half moons. We recommend slicing them around 1/2 cm / 0.2 inch thick, which helps them to cook through evenly, although it's not essential.
Fruit Peel - To peel or not to peel the fruit? It's up to you! Peeling the fruit can help the slices bind together once baked. Leaving the skin on adds pops of colour throughout your crumble along with a little extra nutrition.
