Quince have a wonderful taste and are great in a crumble. You need to precook them, otherwise they won't get soft enough. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 pinches ground nutmeg
• ⅔ cup rolled oats
• ½ cinnamon stick
• 3 lemons, divided
• 3 pounds ripe quinces
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Wash lemons under cold water and dry well. Thinly peel 2 lemons and juice them. Fill a pot with cold water and add lemon juice and lemon peel.

Step 3

Peel quinces and remove core. Cut into small pieces and immediately drop into the pot with lemon water so they don't turn brown. Add cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until quinces are easily pierced with a knife, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain and remove and discard lemon peel and cinnamon stick.

Step 4

Zest and juice remaining lemon. Mix cooked quinces, lemon juice, lemon zest, white sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Pour into a baking dish and level out.

Step 5

Combine butter, flour, brown sugar, oats, and salt in a bowl. Rub between your fingers to create streusel topping. Sprinkle streusel evenly over fruit.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until crumble is lightly browned, about 1 hour.
