Apple & Blackberry Crumble

October 22, 2018

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Nothing says Autumn more than a warm slice of apple and blackberry crumble with cream. Both fruits (apples and blackberries) have just ripened and been picked and taste full of harvest goodness.

As I mentioned in a previous post, blackberry picking is a great way to pass a few hours on an Autumn afternoon and kids usually love it.

Crumbles are a great dessert, full of gorgeous fruits and so quick to make. I chop and mix the fruits together with a couple of tablespoons of sugar and then top with a yummy crumble mix.

The crumble mix is made with flour, butter and sugar. You need to mix the flour and butter together until it resembles breadcrumbs and then add the sugar.

After spreading the crumble mix on top of the fruit, you can top with some porridge oats and brown sugar to give some extra texture and flavour.

The great thing about crumbles is that they are so versatile. You can use so many different fruits, either on their own or combined with others, including apples, rhubarb, pears, blackberries, raspberries, plums. Just find the mix that works for you.
