Peel the quince halve them and remove the cores. Cut each half into roughly three or four segments and cook along with skins (for intense flavour)

Cover and simmer for an hour or until tender.

To make the crumble topping, mix the flour, oats and sugar with a pinch of salt, then rub in the butter until you have an uneven crumbly mix. Sprinkle the crumble in a lined baking trey and cook for 15-20 mins or until golden brown nuggets. Allow it to cool

Gently remove the quince in serving bowl and cooking syrup sprinkle crumble on top with a nice tablespoonful of crème fraiche
