Plum Crumble

Ingredients

• 600 g plums (quartered; the video does not specify an amount, so this is an estimate)
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for the plums)
• ground cinnamon (to taste; estimated at about 2 g)
• 1 packet vanilla sugar (typically about 8 g)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening the plum juices)
• 200 g all-purpose flour (for the crumble topping)
• 130 g cold butter (cut into pieces)
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for the crumble topping)
• vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving; amount to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a heat-resistant baking dish; no dish size is specified in the source, but a medium 20–23 cm baking dish is suitable for the estimated quantity of fruit.

2. 2

   Wash, halve, and quarter the plums, removing the pits. Place the plum pieces directly into the baking dish in an even layer.

3. 3

   Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon to taste, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the plums.

4. 4

   Using a spatula, mix the plums and dry ingredients thoroughly so the fruit is evenly coated. Spread the mixture into an even layer across the base of the dish.

5. 5

   Make the crumble topping by placing the flour, cold butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl. Rub the butter into the flour and sugar with your fingertips until the mixture forms coarse, crumbly pieces. Do not knead it into a smooth dough.

6. 6

   Scatter the crumble mixture evenly over the plum layer, covering the fruit as completely as possible.

7. 7

   Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes, until the plums are soft and bubbling and the topping is golden and crisp.

8. 8

   Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Spoon it into individual cups or bowls and serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Notes

The plum quantity and cinnamon amount were not stated in the transcript; approximately 600 g of plums and cinnamon to taste were estimated. The creator serves the crumble slightly cooled with vanilla ice cream.
