I am always pleased to receive gifts from other people’s gardens, and this year was quite good for fruit. Eva’s plums and my neighbour’s apples are combined with Swiss chocolate here, for a tasty twist on the traditional seasonal crumble.
Chocolate Plum-and-Apple Crumble
Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F
- 500g (1 lb) plums and apples, sliced (I used about half and half)
- 70g (1/2 cup) wholemeal flour
- 30g (1/3 cup) oats
- 55g (1/2 stick) vegan butter/margarine
- 75g (1/3 cup) brown sugar
- 50g (almost 2 oz) good quality dark (vegan) chocolate, chopped into small pieces
Put the fruit in a deep pie dish, and press down firmly. Sprinkle chocolate pieces over the top. Mix the flour and oats together and chop in the vegan butter. Rub it in with fingertips, then stir in the sugar. Place over fruit, but do not press it down. Bake for 45 minutes.
Serve with vegan cream/ice cream, and ENJOY!

Oh yum does that look good!
You’ll just have to try this one! 😉
I like to try your chocolate recipes with my nephew, who likes baking. Oat means Haferflocken?
That’s right – I love anything with oats, and use the best I can find: “Blütenzarte Köllnflocken”!
the blue ones 🙂
Genau! 😀
Cathy what an interesting combo I never would have thought of….my husband would love it as he loves milk chocolate…looks so delicious!
It would be good without the chocolate too, but I was in a chocolate mood! 😀
I like the idea of apples and plums and the chocolate makes it even better!
Definitely! You must try it! 😀
I come here for a huge dose of comfort my dear Cathy!!! 😀 Beautiful. Sharon
Thank you Sharon. You always write such lovely comments! 😀 And a crumble certainly is comforting…
Not only does this look good, I love those blue dishes!
Thanks Sandy! My English “Denby” dinner service has been with me for aboout 25 years now, and I still love it! 😀
I will have to look it up!
Denby “Midnight” can sadly only be found second-hand these days… I managed to get some more pieces a few years ago, but it’s hard!
this is yummy. A really good recipe. Bookmarking.
Glad you liked it! 😀 Thanks for stopping by.
Cathy this looks so delicious! Seems easy to prepare, I would definitely save this recipe!
I do hope you try it! It has become a real favourite of mine…. made it again for Valentine’s Day. 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
