- add vanilla and lemon, mix
- add starch/sugar mixture, fold into fruit
- turn fruity stuff into an ovenproof dish, make sure it fits comfortably
- sprinkle the crumble stuff over the fruit
- place the dish on a baking sheet, just in case of some excessive dripping
- all of it into the hot oven, for about 45-50 minutes
