Yes DJ, I like the pastry.  So easy.

I used to make this quite a lot in my non TMX days.  Haven't made it for a while now so thanks chookie for the conversion.

I just made this.  My crumble wasn't a crumble, it was soft and sticky.  My butter had softened so I think chilled butter might be the way to go (as pointed out in a previous post that I didn't see until it was in the oven)

I didn't have a deep pie dish so I did it in a 8x8 cake tin.  It's cooked right through but is very cakey without much filling  I should have used a smaller tin and maybe increased the amount of filing.  When I was pouring the filing in, I actually went back to the recipe to see if I had left something out because there wasn't much volume

Tastes good though

Chrissa,  the dish i use has a dip in the Center.   This seems to hold the filling.  Yours does look right for a flat dish.  You could make double the filling.  If you look at the total ingredient list,  this is not going to make a large cake.

Going to make this later with sliced plums in the middle, have some to use up.
We already had a plum sponge.

Might use 3/4 for has then add oats, nuts and seeds to remainder to make a crumble topping. Will report later.

[droverjess]

Ok here goes.
It was delicious thanks Chookie, but discovered DH doesn't like plums? LOL

Used 3/4 of mix on base, layered with plum and a little Demerara sugar.



Added into remaining 1/3 a sprinkle of ginger, mixed spice, cinnamon, coconut, flaked almonds, porridge oats and sunflower seeds.



  no 5 few secs til like crumble mix.

Before baking

After baking, it took longer than the lemon version

DJ,  looks delish.  Like the pastry as a base ,  I have used Rhubarb and  Apple.

Love this recipe. Served it warm with cream for tonight's dessert. Just lovely and so easy.

[achookwoman]

Glad you like it Kim.  So easy to get a good result.

Made this for dessert last night!
I didn't have an appropriate dish to cook it in, so I made double quantity of base and filling and used a silicone cake tin.
I think I needed to cook it slightly longer to make it a little more firm, however it was delicious regardless
