Persimmon crumble
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. All crumbles have one thing in common: a thick layer of filling is placed at the bottom of the baking dish, and a buttery crumb topping is sprinkled on top. During baking, the filling releases juice, making the crumb topping crispy. The result is a delicious dessert with a tender texture dotted with crunchy bits. The popularity of various crumbles is also due to their simplicity: just arrange the fruit, cover with crumbs, and voilà! Serve for tea time. Can be served with tea or coffee.

4. Now quickly prepare the dough. Quickly—because the butter shouldn't melt. Pour the pre-measured flour, sugar, and oats into a bowl, and grate the cold butter on a coarse vegetable grater.

6. Sprinkle the persimmons with these crumbs. If you have a lot of crumbs left over, don't worry—you can put them in a container and store in the freezer for next time. Or you can do as I did: I baked another crumble, a smaller one, this time with apples.
