The Bumble Crumble:

Fruit crumble = summer BBQ! We love this dessert! It is perfect for the nervous chef because the recipe is so forgiving. You cant really kill a crumble. The simple ingredients are fruit (berries work best) sugar, flour, butter and any other variation that pops into your mind. Best of all it can be prepared ahead of time. Right after dinner is served, sneak into the kitchen, assemble, pop the crumble into the oven & voil! Fabo dessert, hot, oozing and smelling fabulous right when everyone is ready for some sugar. Just smile and take in all the compliments that are about to come your way!
