192 grams all purpose flour (1 1/2 cups)

Drop remaining crumble mixture on top of the fruit layer, spreading it evenly over the surface of the pan. (It’s ok if the raspberries peek through in a few spots!) Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. Transfer pan to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
