Preparation steps
1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease 4 individual baking dishes.

3.
For the crumble: put the butter, flour, sugar and salt into a mixing bowl and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the porridge oats until well combined.
4.
Sprinkle the fruit mixture with cinnamon and spoon into the pudding basins.

Top with the crumble mixture and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
6.
Cook for about 10-15 minutes, until the crumble is golden brown.
