With a nutty, crunchy streusel topping and velvety, just-sweet-enough fruit filling, this killer crumble is your foolproof formula for turning any fruit into a decadent, delicious dessert. The recipe’s easy to master: make some streusel (easy), make a fruit base (even easier), assemble in a dish (oh, come on now), and bake. Ovens vary, of course, but we’ll show you the simple visual cues you need to know to ensure your crisp is cooked perfectly every time. As luck would have it, this is also a gluten-free treat.

So go on, grab whatever looks fresh at the farmers’ market, and make your friends an oozy, crunchy, incredible crumble. Serve straight up or top with a little <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/recipes/vanilla-bean-ice-cream">ice cream</a>—either way, you’ve got a foolproof dessert you can make anywhere, at a moment’s notice. What could be better than that?
