Cooking your crumble in a wood-fired oven cannot get any better! Beautiful Yorkshire rhubarb and Braeburn apples slowly cooked in butter and crème de cassis over hot embers and then baked with a crumble topping made from ground almonds, crunchy muscovado sugar and chopped hazelnuts.

Ingredients

  • 750g fresh rhubarb, chopped into chunks
  • 500g Braeburn apples, peeled and core removed, chopped into chunks
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp, ground cinnamon
  • 75ml creme de cassis
  • For the crumble topping:
  • 125g plain flour
  • 50g ground almonds
  • 125g chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 35g light brown muscovado sugar, plus extra to sprinkle
  • 35g caster sugar
  • 50g chopped roasted hazelnuts

Method

  1. Pre-heat your wood-fired oven to 200°C.
  2. In a large bowl combine the flour, ground almonds and butter, and rub with your fingertips, until the mixture resembles very coarse breadcrumbs with a few larger lumps. Add the sugars and stir through. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes, or if making ahead, in the fridge until you are ready to bake.
  3. In a shallow baking dish, place your prepared fruit, butter, sugar, crème de cassis and cinnamon. Spread some hot embers on the base of your oven and place your baking dish over them, cook until the fruit is soft but holds its shape, about 15 minutes. You will need to keep on stirring the mix.
  4. Arrange the crumble over the top of the rhubarb and apple compote but don't press it down. Sprinkle with the chopped hazelnuts and some more muscovado sugar. Bake for about 30 minutes, until golden and bubbling, and serve slightly cooled with thick vanilla custard.

My Fuego wood fired pizza oven...

“Our Fuego wood oven has transformed our restaurant! As a piece of kit, it is extremely versatile and controllable, allowing us to roast all of our meats and vegetables in the wood burning oven as well as using it as a charcoal grill during service. The flavour of everything coming out of the Fuego clay pizza oven is incredible due to the amazing smoky, charred tones added to the smell and taste of everything that’s cooked in it. It is not expensive to run as all the kiln-dried wood we use heats the wood fired pizza oven pretty quickly and it retains its temperature really well, only needing to add logs to the fire a few times over the course of service.”

My Fuego wood fired pizza oven...

“We wanted a traditional wood oven that ticked lots of boxes, for us it had to be made of brick for the authentic feel, have amazing functionality and great quality. Our Fuego clay pizza oven ticks them all. Our pizza nights are such a fantastic feature for the guests that stay in our holiday cottages and it’s a great way of bringing friends and family together for making those special memories. Highly recommended”
