A stack of decadent mixed berry crumble bar.
Aisha Hamad AlMidfa
The mixed berry crumble bars are an easy yet satisfying dessert with a contemporary take on the classic apple crumble. It fulfils all your taste buds with the various textures and layers that hug the rich mixed berry filling.
The crumble encompasses of two layers of the same floury mixture and a smooth yet warm filling of berries. Most of the ingredients can be found in anyone’s kitchen. For the fruity filling, it is best if it is homemade rather than using a jam because the flavours become more elevated and enhanced when cooked. Also, for the berry mixture, frozen mixed berries can do the trick or some fresh berries can be used, both are fine.
