Strawberry Rhubarb or Apple Pluot Crumble (plant-based)
My grandma's favourite flavour combination was strawberry rhubarb, so this one is for her. You can also make this crumble with apples and pluots, peaches and blueberries, or any fruit combinations you're curious to try.It's easy to put together for an elegant and delicious dessert!I made this as part of the showstopper challenge from the great British bake-off, season 1, episode 4 (pudding week!)The task was to make 3 kinds of pudding: bread, crumble, and suet. I changed the suet pudding to a steamed pudding because suet is gross. All the recipes are posted here if you want to give them a try.Great British Bakeoff Vegan: Season 1, Episode 4, Showstopper

Facebook comment from Joyce: My Grandma made the best strawberry rhubarb pie!! 🥧 Of course she left no recipe and I have never been able to make it just like hers. But some recipes just can’t be duplicated because there’s one ingredient that we can’t put in it and that is their love!! 🪄💜
@Joyce That is very true! 🥰❤
A delicious way to use up extra fruit!
