Quince Crumble image

Quince have a wonderful taste and are great in a crumble. You need to precook them, otherwise they won't get soft enough. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lemons, divided
3 pounds ripe quinces
½ cinnamon stick
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
⅔ cup rolled oats
1 pinch salt
2 pinches ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Wash lemons under cold water and dry well. Thinly peel 2 lemons and juice them. Fill a pot with cold water and add lemon juice and lemon peel.
  • Peel quinces and remove core. Cut into small pieces and immediately drop into the pot with lemon water so they don't turn brown. Add cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until quinces are easily pierced with a knife, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain and remove and discard lemon peel and cinnamon stick.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Zest and juice remaining lemon. Mix cooked quinces, lemon juice, lemon zest, white sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Pour into a baking dish and level out.
  • Combine butter, flour, brown sugar, oats, and salt in a bowl. Rub between your fingers to create streusel topping. Sprinkle streusel evenly over fruit.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crumble is lightly browned, about 1 hour.
