Ingredients

  • 600 g Granny Smith apples (approx 5 apples - peeled, cored and quartered)
  • 250 g blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar

Crumble Topping

  • 200 g plain flour
  • 100 g cold salted butter (cut into cubes)
  • 75 g caster sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare the apples by peeling and removing the core. Then cut the apple into quarters or large slices. Don't cut the apple too small otherwise it will not hold its shape once baked.
  • Place the apples and blackberries into an oven-proof dish. Spoon over the caster sugar and mix well to combine then set aside.
  • Make the crumble topping by first placing the flour, sugar and cold cubes of butter into a large mixing bowl. Rub together gently to form a breadcrumb like consistency.
  • Spoon the crumble over the fruit ensuring an even layer. Place in a pre-heated oven at 200C/180CFan and bake for 40 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  • Serve with custard, or a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

This is a simple traditional apple & blackberry crumble, however if you wish you can add 1tsp of ground cinnamon to the apple. 
Fruit crumble is a versatile dish. Here are some other ideas for fruit crumbles the all work really well with a crumble topping:
  • apple and raspberry or strawberry
  • pear and raspberry
  • rhubarb and ginger
  • peach, apricot or nectarine
