<li>If you’re using hard fruit, such as apples, pears or quince, either cut the fruit into small pieces, or cook it before it goes into the dish.</li>
<li>Remember to peel and remove any blemishes from harder fruits.</li>
<li>If you’re using soft fruit like berries, peaches or plums, it’s a good idea to cook it with some cornflour before it goes into the oven, to help thicken the juices.</li>
<li>Rub the ingredients for the topping togther until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, don’t worry about any lumps, that will just give the topping a nice texture.</li>
<li>If you prefer a crunchier topping, cook the crumble seperate from the fruit.</li>
