Ingredients

2 Bramley apples (peeked, cored and chopped into small chunks)
200g blackberries
100g plain flour (or 50g plain and 50g wholemeal if you prefer)
50g brown sugar
40g cold, unsalted butter (chopped into cubes)

Handy Hint

Steps 4-5 can be done in a minute or so in a food processor if you have one.

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C/Gas Mark 4 then peel and chop your apples.
2. Put into an oven-proof dish with the blackberries, 10g of the sugar and a splash of water.
3. Mix to coat the fruit, and bake in oven for 15 mins to soften the fruit.
4. Meanwhile, put the flour and butter in a bowl and rub together with your fingertips until it has the consistency of breadcrumbs.
5. Add the remaining sugar and stir through.
6. Take dish out of oven, cover fruit with the crumble mixture and bake for 30 mins until golden and crunchy on top.

Serve with cream or ice cream.

Oh, and it made about 1.5 small jam jars worth.

I made an apple and blackberry crumble last week. The fruit oozed out so much juice that, not wanting a runny crumble, I strained it off and made the most delicious jelly (as it jam without the lumps!). The apple has enough pectin that it sets really well, so I just needed 225g sugar per 250ml juice. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, then boil rapidly until it reaches setting point. Simples!
