Autumn apple & blackberry crumble

Step by Step

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Mix together the frozen apples, blackberries, cinnamon and ½ the sugar, then tip into a large ovenproof baking dish, about 25x17cm. Bake for 15 minutes until the fruit begins to soften.

Step 2

Meanwhile, make the crumble topping. Place the flour, oats and a pinch of salt in a large bowl, then stir together. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour and oats until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in the nuts and remaining sugar.

Step 3

Gently stir the softened fruit, then smooth it down with the back of a spoon. Top with the crumble, return to the oven and bake for 30 minutes until golden. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve with double cream, ice cream or custard, if liked.
