Plum and almond crumble slice anyone? Yes Please! 😋
I wasn’t planning on posting a recipe. With these uncertain times we’re facing have got me emotional eating, and I just have not been able to restrain myself, or the kids from all the goodies I’ve been making.
But this was soooo good, I resisted the urge to eat the whole tray, and instead opted to share it with you all for the greater good, so you too can bring some of this delicious goodness into your life… 😂 😂😂.
OK, so I may have eaten a slice…😅🤤🤣
We’re currently in Autumn, and I’m savouring the last lingering batch of sweet, sweet plums I have.
Especially now that I’m trying to keep going to the grocery shops to a minimum.
Sadly I left these plums on the counter a little too long, and they are way too soft for my liking.
But never fear, they are the perfect sweetness for these delicious plum and almond crumble slice 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻.
I didn’t want to waste these heavenly plums, so I got to baking, plus I needed something to keep the kids busy during our self isolation at home 😅.
And boy was it a good idea, because these plum and almond crumble slices are so quick, and easy to make, the kids were even able to make a second batch on there own 🙌🏻.
Soft, chewy, full of plum flavour, with a lovely buttery biscuit base, and absolutely delicious is how I would describe these plum and almond crumble slice.
Being slices, they are the perfect bite size bars to have on the go or leisurely with a hot cuppa.
Not A Plum Fan? Don’t Have Plums?
Don’t worry, this recipe is very simply and can easily be adapted with any fruit you have available.
Blueberry, rhubarb, strawberries, pear, apple, blood oranges, the possibilities are endless 🤤.
I’ve got some rhubarb in the garden, and I know just what I’m going to make with them 😋.
