For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the crumble topping. If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, a 9-inch baking dish will work just as well. Adjust baking time as needed. Loquats can vary in sweetness. Taste the filling before baking and adjust the amount of sugar to your liking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Loquats: In a medium saucepan, combine the halved and pitted loquats with lemon juice. This prevents browning and enhances their natural flavor. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the loquats release their juices and begin to simmer, stirring occasionally. (12-15 minutes)
02
StepCreate the Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Pour this mixture over the simmering loquats, stirring well to combine. Return to a gentle simmer over low heat and cook until the filling has thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. (2 minutes)
03
StepPreheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a 9-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven while it preheats. After 5 minutes, carefully remove the hot skillet and lightly coat with cooking spray. This will ensure the crumble doesn't stick.
04
StepAssemble the Crumble: Transfer the loquat filling to the prepared skillet.
05
StepMake the Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the loquat filling.
06
StepBake to Golden Perfection: Place the skillet on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. (25 minutes)
07
StepRest and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let stand for 20 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
