Fig Crumble Dessert

Try fig crumble as an alternative to the more traditional apple crumble. As the cooler nights start to set in whip up this dish to warm the soul. 

Ingredients

Filling

• 8 – 10 Figs
• Castor sugar
• Crumble topping
• 1/2 cup self raising flour*
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 60g butter
• Walnuts

*Self raising flour gives the dish a more puffy top. Use plain flour for a more crumbly texture.

Method

Preheat oven to 180˚C fan forced. Dice or slice figs and fill oven proof ceramic bowl to three quarters full. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over the top of the figs.

Blend flour, brown sugar and butter in a processor until a crumbly mix has formed. Sprinkle over figs and finish with a handful of walnuts.

Bake

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until crumble mix is golden brown. 

Serve warm with whipped cream.

About the author

Two Old Ducks was founded by Annette Long in 2006 to promote back to basics food – cooking from the pantry and garden for your family. I always felt that a couple of ‘old ducks’ conjured up a simple sharing of cooking together and of course enjoying the fruits of your labour. After spending years involved in food, with starting a successful catering business 30 years ago, than an award winning restaurant on the Sunshine Coast I became more and more convinced of the importance of educating people about the simple pleasures of simple seasonal whole food. This passion has lead to the birth of Two Old Ducks… http://www.twooldducks.com.au/
