Peach Crumble,Cooking with Kids

“Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes, and cooking. Its about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity.” – Guy Fieri

One of the best things kids can learn through cooking is to incorporate fruits and vegetables into their diet and enjoy eating them. Crumble is one of the easiest of dessert recipes in which you can use almost any fruit you fancy; apples, peaches, strawberries, cherries, pineapple, apricots are just a few suggestions to trigger your imagination.

Peach Crumble is the favourite in our house for its sweet n sour flavour. I’ve mostly used brown sugar in the recipe which gives the crumble a fudge-like taste. Kids love to make the crumble using their hands, if using electric food processor, please supervise and discuss the safety measures first. Always switch off and unplug the gadget before placing the food in or taking it out of the processor jug to avoid accidents. The whole recipe consists of basically mixing the ingredients in bowls and then layering them for baking. My girls love vanilla custard so we serve our Peach Crumble over a pool of vanilla custard.
Enjoy !
