Blackberry and Apple Crumble

(Serves 4-6)

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 70g soft butter
• half cup caster sugar
• 4-5 apples
• 1 cup blackberries, wild or cultivated
• sugar to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter

Method

To make the crumble topping, put the flour in a bowl and use your fingers to rub in the butter. Stir in the sugar and set aside.

Preheat oven to 190C.

Quarter, core and peel the apples and cut into chunks or slices. Pile into a deep ceramic baking dish, such as a soufflé dish, alternately with the blackberries. Sprinkle sugar over the top, together with a few dabs of butter.

Spoon the crumble mixture over the top. Place baking dish on a metal tray or in a roasting dish to catch any drips. Bake for about 40 minutes until the fruity juices are bubbling up at the edges of the biscuit-coloured topping. Serve warm with lightly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
