Mix the diced fruit with 1 tablespoon flour and 2 tablespoon sugar. Set aside, letting it macerating aka soften while it releases its juices.
In a bowl, mix together the ½ cup flour, oats,¼ cup sugar and melted butter.
Mix the ingredients with your hands, try and make everything wet .If required add more butter 1 teaspoon at a time.
Layer the fruit on the bottom of the baking tin.
Add the crumble layer on the top- Do this roughly- Do not make it too perfect or press it down too much.
Once the whole surface is covered, bake it in the oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes or till the top is golden and you can see a bit of sauce bubbling on the top.
Let it cool slightly before serving with ice cream.
