3. Mix together the brown sugar and flour. Pour in melted butter. Mix well until the mixture is slightly crumbly. It will be a soft crumble, not granular.

5. Bake at 420 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the fruits are bubbly & colorful and the crumble topping is slightly brown.
FAQs:
What if I do not have fresh fruits? Will this still work? YES! Canned fruits like apricots or cherries will work well, just make sure you drain them well.
Can I use pie filling instead of fruit slices? Fresh fruit slices or canned fruits work better than canned pie filling, as the pie filling has additional ingredients that take away from the simplicity and taste of the recipe. Stick with stone fruits for best results. A stone fruit has a soft exterior and a “stone” or a pit in the center that contains the seed.
Does it have to be refrigerated? Crumbles can traditionally sit out at room temperature for 2 hours, but beyond that it definitely needs refrigeration. Your cooler is your friend when you need to travel with the crumble! This Coleman cooler has been a work horse in our family for years. Yep, we have fancier & more expensive coolers, but we don’t like to drag those across the sand at the beach nor do we want salt air exposure on our pricey coolers. Our Coleman cooler has stood the test of time!
