Recipe of the Week
Apple and Blackberry Crumble
Ingredients
750g cooking apples, washed and peeled
250g blackberries, washed
1 tsp butter
Handful of sugar, to taste
1tbsp water or apple juice
100g plain flour
75g butter
50g rolled oats
100g demerara sugar
Method
-
Preheat a fan over to 200 deg celsius.
-
Wipe apples, cut into bite size chunks, remove core and place in a heavy bottomed pan. Add apple and blackberries to pan with butter, allow to cook down on a medium to high heat for 8ish mins while checking it regularly and stirring.
-
Add the water or apple juice. Taste for sweetness and add sugar to taste. This can largely depend on many things including how bitter the apple and blackberries are, the variety of apple, when they’re harvested etc etc. Cook over a medium heat for a further 5ish mins until apples have softened around the outside.
-
Transfer apple and blackberries to an ovenproof dish. If the dish is not non-stick, grease with butter beforehand.
-
Blend flour and butter in a food processor until resembling breadcrumbs. If you do not have a food processor, don’t worry, you can use the old rubbing in method to rub the butter into the flour.
-
Stir in the oats and the Demerara sugar until all the fruit is covered in a substantial layer of crumble. Place the dish in the oven for about 30 minutes, check half way through to ensure it is baking evenly.
-
Once golden brown on top, allow to cool slightly before serving. It can be served with cream, custard or ice cream depending on your preference. This is a fabulous recipe to try with the kids. Simple, tasty, healthy(ish) and totally delicious, I always thought as a child that half the fun was in the foraging for the berries. Enjoy! X
