'Zwetschgen' (bavarian name, 'abrunhos' in portuguese) are a unique kind of plums, characterized by its elongated shape, dark amethyst peel and ideally golden flesh. For being seemingly less watery than other plums and for their deliciously intense flavour, they are perfect for baking. This cake is a German classic that combines several things that I personally adore, and that I guess are favourites for many of you as well: a buttery yeast dough, an awesome layer of juicy baked fruit, my own very favourite recipe of spiced crumble... plus it's easy to prepare and quicker than a normal bread! Made with seasonal fruits, this recipe couldn't be better suited for this well settled Fall.

when it crumbles... { plum grape crumble }
Having a hard time deciding what to write here today.
(...)
Should we food bloggers always combine a recipe with a funny story about it, or about our lives?
(Hmm)
Well, there are many reasons why I choose to bake/cook what I choose to bake/cook... like:
a) I want to eat that specific thing... as in... right - NOW.
b) I saw this thing on (insert website/blog/magazine/book/...) and I can't get it out of my head.
c) I have some (insert edible things here) going stale that I need to get rid of.
d) There is a (insert social event here) coming up - you can find me thinking about new recipes weeks ahead, especially if I'm hosting.
e) I just really feel like cooking/baking, which is not easy to distinguish from:
f) I am bored and cooking/baking is such a great hobbie! (usually followed by oh no, do I have to eat all this now?!)
g) I have a food blog which I can't neglect - and new ideas coming up.
h) Someone asked me to!
i) I am procrastinating and so I really need to cook/bake (insert wild cooking/baking project here).
j) Several or all of the above.
(I may have forgotten some reasons, but I thing I got the most important covered.)
So this crumble was definitely a j, a mix between a, c, e, f and i (although it is not that wild, but I was, indeed, procrastinating.) It really is nothing out of the ordinary, but this fruit combo is a winner and the oats top it perfectly. And it is sooo easy to do... Hope you enjoy it - and maybe use this recipe to fulfill the same purposes :)

When it Crumbles... { peach crumble }
Once upon a time, there were a princess and a prince. They were working next to each other, each on each side of a swedish plywood table with bulky legs. The prince was studing a foreign language, and the princess was doing crochet on Archicad, their crowns sitting by their side. As she worked, she realized she felt like having something sweet to eat. She then sneaked to the kitchen to prepare something. She wanted something fruity, but since Fairy Godmother was on vacation, she was left with all she had, and she only had a can of peaches and some tangerines. With a sprinkle of magic powder, she turned the canned peach into a delicious treat. When she arrived in her room with this oven-hot delicacy, the place was immediately filled by its perfect aroma, and the prince surrendered once again to her handmade witchcraft ;)

Midnight Goddess { apple crumble cheesecake }
Tal como vem sendo costume quando faço bolos para alguém em particular, a ideia para este bolo surgiu porque o meu irmão mais velho está prestes a virar "adulto" (nem acredito!).
Como ele vai estar em Coimbra e eu no Porto, a juntar ao facto de que o meu irmão mais novo chegava ontem à noite da Alemanha, e ao facto de eu estar farta de estar agarrada ao computador a fazer cortes, tinha de se criar alguma coisa na cozinha.
Apetecia-me fazer um bolo combinado, como já vem sendo também costume, com diferentes camadas, texturas e sabores.
Decidi pegar no doce preferido dele, que vem sendo preferido de todos cá em casa: cheesecake; juntar um toque diferente: lembrei-me de que ele também gosta bastante de tarte de maçã; acrescentar uma cobertura estaladiça: crumble, de que gosto imenso, e assim foi surgindo a ideia de um cheesecake com cobertura de crumble de maçã!
Está uma delícia!!!
Once again, as it has been usual when I bake something for someone in particular, the idea for this cake occurred to me because my older brother is about to turn 18! (I can't believe that yet!)
Since he's going to be in Coimbra and I'm going to be in Oporto, adding the fact that my younger brother was arriving from Germany and the fact that I was tired of being in the computer architectizing, I had to sort something out of the kitchen.
I wanted to make another combined cake, as it has been usual too, with different layers, textures and flavors.
I decided to take his favorite cake, already a favorite for everyone here at home: cheesecake; add a different touch: he quite likes apple pie too; add something different for topping: crumble! that I love, and then everything came together as a cheesecake with apple crumble topping!It is delicious!!!
