Apple & Blackberry Crumble

Apple & Blackberry Crumble

A classic fruit crumble. Jamie’s Tip - the crumble topping takes just minutes to prepare, then you let the whole thing bubble away in the oven until the top is all crunchy and delicious. Crumble is great for using up any really ripe fruit. Try using pears or other seasonal fruit instead of apples next time you make this. You can also use any other frozen berries instead of blackberries. Serve with natural yoghurt or homemade custard, if you like.

Ingredients

  • unsalted butter 125 g (cubed)
  • plain flour 250 g
  • oats 25 g
  • demerara sugar 75 g
  • apple 4 (peeled)
  • blackberries 500 g
  • caster sugar 1 tbsp

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
  • Cut the cold butter into rough cubes on a chopping board, then add to a large mixing bowl with the plain flour.
  • Use your fingertips to lightly rub the butter and flour together until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
  • Add the oats and Demerara sugar and then mix everything together.
  • Remove the apple stalks, then use a Y-shaped peeler to peel the apples.
  • Cut each apple into 6 even-sized pieces, removing the core.
  • Put the apple pieces and blackberries into a baking dish (roughly 18cm x 25cm), then sprinkle over the caster sugar and mix well to coat the fruit.
  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit, then bake in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is nicely golden and the edges are bubbling.
