Tonight I was in 'Dessert urge' mode. I really had to have dessert. After reading all of my favorite food blogs I could have eaten a whole pan of brownies or a chocolate cake by myself. But my waistline would not be happy with me. I decided to settled for a crumble. Some people eat crumbles only in the Fall, I like them all year long. During my shopping trip, this week, I bought a big bag of fresh cherries. They are great on their own but it's still nice to experience with them. I pulled out a recipe that my mom had gave me for apple crumble and did some modifications. I used pitted cherries, blueberries, raspberries instead of apples. I had fun pitting the cherries. I don't own one of those cute cherry pitter so I had to use a very sharp knife. Couple minutes later I had pitted a full bowl of cherries. They were pitted in many little pieces, my nails were red but it worked. Someday I will treat myself to a real cherry pitter. It is one of those kitchen gadget that you don't think of buying until you really need it. My mom recipe did not say to mix the fruits with Maple Syrup. I think that it adds a nice sweetness to the fruits. I also wanted more oats so I did use less flour and did triple the amount of oats. I used Extra Thick Rolled Oats from Bob's Red Mill that I had bought during my trip in the States. The crumble turned out to be delicious and I was surprised at how good are cherries in a crumble.
Fruit Crumble
Peel apples. Pour real Maple Syrup on top of apples to taste (1 to 4 Tbsps). Mix well.
Melt the butter and mix in all the remaining ingredients. Spread the mix on top of the fruits.
Bake at 350F for 30 min.

This looks so good...we all love anything with fruit and crumbles/crisps are always a bit hit here whenever I make them. What a pretty picture this makes, especially with that scoop of ice cream!
Cherries are so juicy but they are worth all the effort. Your crumble sounds delicious Helene. Glad to see you are cooking up a storm again in your new kitchen.
I love eating fruits for dessert, and add topings. Your recipe looks so good with everything in it !
oh, I feel the same way Helene, I could eat fruit crumbles all year round.
And yours look stunning.
This looks wonderful. I know they are a bother but cherries are a delicious fruit. I use rubber gloves when working with them. I hope you had a great day. Blessings...Mary
Your crumble look absolutely delicious Helene.
Although the crumble is the best part, it's nice to see all the fruit packed in there. It makes dessert seem a bit healthier. :)
I like the additon of the cherries to the softer berries....gives nice texture I think!! Glad to see you're up and cookin'!
A wonderful crumble! That is a mouthwatering combination.

This is a fun looking dessert. Love all the reds. I, too, say every summer, I need a cherry pitter. I need to break down and get one.
Gorgeous and I am sure the cherries added a lot. I am now craving crumble :)
