20 mins prep30 mins cook50 mins total
Heat oven to 190°C.
Toss fruit with sugar and tip into a baking dish.
Rub butter into flour, then stir in almonds and diced marzipan.
Scatter topping over the fruit.
Bake 25–35 minutes until golden and bubbling.
Notes
Adjust the sugar slightly depending on how sweet or tart your apricots are.
Keep the butter cold when rubbing into the flour to get a better crumble texture.
Fresh apricots work well; if they are very ripe, reduce bake time slightly and check early.
About this recipe
Apricot and Marzipan Crumble pairs sweet-tart apricots with rich marzipan and a crisp flour-butter topping enriched with ground almonds. As it bakes, the fruit softens and turns syrupy while the crumble browns for a classic contrast of textures.
It is an easy oven dessert that works well for family-style serving. Spoon it warm into bowls and finish with hot custard or cream for a balanced, comforting pudding.
