Here's how to prepare a delicious Taste the Difference crumble - and a time-saving alternative for when you're on the go. ![Sainsbury's Taste the Difference autumn fruit and nut crumble][1] Sainsbury's Taste the Difference autumn fruit and nut crumble 11:02AM BST 23 Sep 2010 Autumn is the time of mellow fruitfulness and so a fruit crumble is perfect for a seasonal dessert. It is arguably the ultimate in sweet comfort foods and the quintessential Sunday lunch pudding. And did you know that this British national treasure is topping dessert menus in the chicest French restaurants right now as Le Crumble? Fruit and crumble go together like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. You can choose any fruit you fancy or even combine two or three complementary fruits to make your very own version of this classic British dessert. Apple and blackberry seem made for each other, but why not try apricot and almond, or plum and pear? The new and improved Sainsbury's Taste the Difference range gives you the key products you need to make the perfect crumble from scratch. It also offers great-tasting ready-prepared products for those times when you're just too busy to cook. ### Oat cuisine Once you have selected your favourite fruit for your crumble, why not add a sprinkling of oats or even nuts, such as walnuts, and seeds to your topping for an extra nutritious boost and to give it a scrumptious crunchy texture to contrast with the succulent fruit? A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg is another way to add a little spicy zing to this versatile dish, or you can even try a chocolate and banana or toffee apple variation. The beauty of making a crumble for a special meal is that you can do most of the preparation in advance, making the topping and the filling a day or so beforehand and keeping them in the fridge. ### The perfect ingredients Choosing the right products is essential, with Sainsbury's Taste the Difference range being the perfect place to start when choosing your flour and butter, as well as fruit and other ingredients. Of course, the secret of making a perfect crumble is to start with a perfect crumble topping. Making one is a handy skill to learn.
