Crumble Topping

Filling

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-3 tablespoons brown sugar (depending on the sweetness of the fruit)
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
8 cups of chopped fruit (chopped to about the size of your thumbnail) or berries

Crumble Topping: Preheat oven to 350 ºF (180 ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl mix together 55 grams whole wheat flour, 120 grams all-purpose flour, 50 grams rolled oats, 75 grams brown sugar, 65 grams granulated sugar, 65 grams chopped pecans, and a pinch of salt. Stir in melted butter and then bring the mixture together with your hands. Squishing to form small crumbs.
Poor your crumble onto your lined baking sheet and ensure that the crumbs are about 1/2 inch or smaller in size. Bake for about 15-18 minutes, until the crumbs hold their shape when touched. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Filling: In a large bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1-3 tablespoons brown sugar, and the juice of 1/2 a lemon until well combined. Add in your chopped fruit or berries and mix well to combine.
Pour filling into a 8x8 inch baking dish and spread out evenly. Place your baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow while baking. Then add the topping in an even layer over the fruit. Bake until the filling is bubbling around the edges, about an hour to an hour and 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream. If making ahead and you want to reheat it bake it at 350 ºF (180 ºC) until warm.
