Recipe Reviews

I'm not really sure how to rate this. If I only look at the result, I'd tend to give it a 3-star rating because it's really plain - but it's really easy and really quick, too, and for that little amount of effort you put into it, it's actually quite good! Real crumble is of course always better, but nowhere as easy.

We substituted the peaches with pears, and used frozen raspberries as frozen berries - neither could stand up to the flavour of the apples and ginger. Blueberries might have worked. We didn't have ginger jam but used 3 tbsp candied ginger in syrup.

I wasn't happy at all with the instruction to use a microwave - this isn't even a 'quick fix dinner'-cookbook or something similar, so I don't see any reason at all not to use an oven (you can see I'm not a friend of microwaves). We baked it in the oven instead, which wasn't a problem at all as I baked it while we were having the main course, but I had to find out myself how long I needed to bake the fruit. I did 30 min total for the apples and pears (could have been slightly shorter), and 10 min for the berries.

Definitely serve this with ice cream or crème fraîche or a custard or vanilla yoghurt, or anything similar, it'll need it.

One day later:
Doesn't re-heat well; the crunchy muesli had turned soggy and stayed that way - it tasted more like a muesli bar than anything else.
