Stone Fruit Pecan Crumble

A simple and scrumptious crumble.

The unexpected addition of salt in the fruit mixture and in the crumble itself, brings a complexity to the flavour that is quite indescribably delicious  ....

Ingredients

Filling

800g ripe stone fruit (plums peaches and nectarines are all great) pitted and sliced into 1cm wedges

2 tblsp (30ml) pure maple syrup

2 tsp (10 ml) fresh lemon juice

1 tsp arrowroot powder (I use Kuzu)

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp fine sea salt





Crumble Topping

1 1/4 cups of raw pecan halves

2 tblsp pure maple syrup

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Method

1.  Preheat oven to 190 C

2.  Make the Filling:   In a 20cm oven proof dish add the stone fruit, maple syrup, lemon juice,               arrowroot powder, cinnamon and sea salt and lightly toss to combine. Set aside.

3.  Make the Crumble Topping:   In a food processor, combine the pecans, maple syrup, cinnamon       and sea salt. Pulse the mixture until you have a crumbly consistency.

4.  Sprinkle the crumble mixture on the top of the stone fruit. Bake the crumble until the fruit is               tender and the topping has browned, 22 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
