Ingredients

• For the fruit filling:

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for pre-cooking the fruit)

• For the crumble topping:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
  • A pinch of salt

• For the hazelnut sauce:

  • 1/2 cup hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon water (if needed for thinning)

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and peaches, cooking them for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the mixed berries, lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon, stirring gently to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Pour the pre-cooked fruit mixture into a greased baking dish.
4. In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts.
5. Spread the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling in the baking dish.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
7. While the crumble is baking, prepare the hazelnut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the hazelnut spread and heavy cream. Heat over low, stirring until smooth. Add water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
8. Let the crumble cool slightly before serving. Drizzle generous amounts of warm hazelnut sauce over each serving.
