Plum and juniper crumble – a fruity oven dessert for autumn and winter

Juicy plums, a warm spice aroma, and a crispy nut crumble topping—this crumble is just the thing for cold days. Juniper berries give the fruit filling a delicately tart note that blends perfectly with cinnamon, nutmeg, and roasted nuts. Whether served with cream, ice cream, or vanilla pudding, this oven-baked dessert is uncomplicated, quick to make, and simply all-around cozy.

Pflaumen-Wacholder-Crumble – fruchtiges Ofendessert für Herbst & Winter

Ingredients for 10 servings

8 tsp juniper berries
1 kg plums, pitted and sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
200 g sugar
70 g ground almonds
70 g walnut kernels, chopped
100 g flour (type 405)
150 g butter, plus a little more for greasing
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Whipped cream for serving

Aside from that
mortar and pestle
Baking dish (30 cm x 18 cm each)

preparation

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Crush the juniper berries in a mortar and pour into a mixing bowl.

Add chopped plums, lemon juice, and 100g of sugar. Stir and set aside while you prepare the crumble.

To do this, mix the remaining ingredients with the remaining sugar in a large bowl and rub between your fingertips until fine crumbs form.

Grease a 30 cm baking dish and spread the plum mixture over the bottom. Sprinkle the crumbles on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until the crumbles are golden brown and serve with ice-cold whipped cream.

Tip
The crumble is best served hot, with ice cream or vanilla pudding.

AHA!
Both plums and juniper are highly versatile ingredients and make an excellent, relaxing pair. Culturally, both have the same significance as traditional Christmas trees, as winter-hardy, brave symbols of resilience.
