Banana & Peach Crumble

Here is a quick and simple dessert that you can make using the food processor. The crumble topping is not your usual crumble mixture but rather a cookie mixture which makes its 'shorter' than the usual and more decadent. Serve with your favourite ice-cream. I like the old-fashioned, plain, vanilla ice-cream.

Banana & Peach Crumble

1 large canned peaches in slices, about 480g drained weight
4 large bananas
juice from 1/2 lemon
zest from 1 lemon
pinch of cinnamon powder

For the crumble:
80 g salted butter
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup soft brown sugar
1 cup almond slivers

Vanilla Ice Cream

Method:
1. Empty a can of drained peach slices onto a 8" oven proof dish.
2. Skin and slice bananas into 1/2" thickness and put them on top of the peaches.


3. Grate the zest of the lemon and sprinkle it over the bananas and peaches. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the mixture. Add a few dash of cinnamon powder lightly over the fruits.


4. To prepare the crumble, slice the cold butter into about 2mm thickness and put them into the food processor.
5. Measure the flour and add this into the butter.
6. Process until mixture turns to breadcrumbs (about 1 minute).
7. Empty mixture onto a mixing bowl and stir in brown sugar.
8. Spoon mixture onto the fruits.

9. Bake in preheated oven at 180 degree Celsius for about 40 minutes.
10. Sprinkle almond slivers and bake on a further 10 minutes or until nuts turn brown.

11. Spoon mixture onto dessert bowls, cutting down each servings with a large spoon.
12. Serve with vanilla ice-cream at the side.
