Hello Monday, hello May and hello You!
_______ makes me happy.
- Snuggling on the couch watching a movie.
- Reading e-mails from friends.
- Listening to oldie songs (and dancing to it like a dork.)
- Walking on fallen leaves....crunch!
- Finding a heart shaped stone (out of approx. 1 gazillion stones on the path!)
- Discovering a new fruit crumble using my favourite fruits.
Isn't there a phrase, a crumble without ice-cream is like a sky without stars? Or a chow-mein without noodles? Or a nerd without braces? There isn't?
Thankfully the ice-cream to the rescue at the last minute....
There you go. A complete crumble.
You may already now I'm a huge fan of crumbles...they're one of my ultimate comfort foods. And this crumble is second to my all time favourite apple crumble. Yum!
Anyways, I hope you a nice Monday today :)
Pineapple and Papaya Crumble
Adapted from Joy the Baker
I halved the recipe to make 2 small casserole dish.
I halved the recipe to make 2 small casserole dish.
- 1 papaya, peeled and diced into cubes
- 1 medium diced fresh pineapple
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (I omitted this)
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- sprinkle of ground cinnamon (just because it's autumn).
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 1 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177C).
2. Toss diced fruit together in an 8-inch square baking dish (I used 2 small casserole dish). In a small dish, whisk together 3 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, 1/4 cup of flour, cinnamon and pinch of salt. Toss the mixture with the diced fruit. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the cold butter cubes. Use your fingers to break up the cold butter cubes into the flour mixture. Add the oats and toss together until the butter bits are about the size of the oat flakes.
4. Pour the oat mixture over the prepared fruit. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until juices from the fruit bubble up around the sides of the pan.
5. Remove the crumble from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Crumble is delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream.
6. Crumble can we wrapped and refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or wrapped in foil in a low oven.
______ makes you happy today?
Your Japanese cheesecake made me happy today =) (I was so curious I had to try this weekend.) It's still Sunday over here... I plan to try your crumble on Monday. And expect it will make me happy Monday. Thanks, Viv.

A tropical crumble! I so love the flavors you have here. I bet eating it tastes like being on vacation, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe ice cream just brings everything together. Bright colours for a Monday :P
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a saying in my world. It's corollary is that tropical fruits without ice cream are just sad and lonely. Actually...anything without ice cream for that matter. What a delicious crumble!
ReplyDeleteAww that heart-shaped stone is so cute!
ReplyDeletewonderful combination! i usually use berries, apples, pears or stone fruits, never thought of mixing papaya with pineapple :)
ReplyDeletelove the tropical look!

ReplyDeletemy 2 favorite fruits!! looks fab!
ReplyDeleteAll absolutely lovely thing to brighten any day of the week! :D
ReplyDeleteYum!!! I love tropical fruit, but it's impossible to get ripe pineapples and papayas in Austria. The crumble looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh i have to leave a comment! Gorgeous photos! and HAAGEN DAZS with CRUMBLE!! GOTTA LOVE THEM!
ReplyDeleteWow! I would never have thought to make a crumble with these fruits. PS I love Oldies too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful crumble. Love the use or tropical fruits.
ReplyDeleteI love fruit crumbles... they are so warm and comfy! The papaya / pineapple gives it a wonderful tropical spin!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this. We are finding more and more papayas, or really the large mamão like what we had in Brazil, here in Kentucky. I'll be using one in this for a summer dessert!
ReplyDeleteThough beauty gives you a weird sense of entitlement, it's rather frightening and threatening to have others ascribe such importance to something you know you're just renting for a while. carseatsinfo.com |
