Apple and Blackberry Crumble

Quite possibly the best dessert for this time of year? A crumble is always a crowd pleaser and is perfect for switching up the filling depending on which fruits are in season. We went with apple and blackberry, and served ours with custard.  Cream and ice cream also work!

3 bramley apples
300g blackberries
100g demerara sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

110g of unsalted butter
110g demerara sugar
180g plain flour
50g oats

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Peel and core the apples and chop into chunks. You can chop into different sizes. Place in a pan with 50g of the sugar, the cinnamon & cover with water. Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer for around 5 minutes until the apple is cooked. Drain and pour into your ovenproof dish. Top the apple with your blackberries and make sure everywhere has an even spread. Sprinkle over the remaining 50g of sugar.

Next up, put your flour, sugar and cubed butter in a mixing bowl. With clean hands, rub the mixture together until it becomes a breadcrumb consistency. Place over the top of your filling and bake for around 20-25 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Once cooked, allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
