Gourmet tip

Depending on the season, you can vary with fruits and berries. Berries from berry fields are particularly tasty; in late summer it is worth looking for wild strawberries in the forest.

If you like crunchy crumbles: instead of 200 g, only use 150 g of flour and mix 80 g of oat flakes with the crumble mixture.
