Crunchy apple and blackberry crumble

Cooking : time 30 mins to 1 hour






Ingredients

For the filling
900g/2lb bramley apples
350-400g/12oz-1lb blackberries
175g/6oz demerara sugar
2 lemons

For the lidping
225g/8oz plain flour
175g/6oz butter
55g/2oz demerara sugar
125g/4oz muesli or a mixture of oats, seeds and chopped nuts





Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
2. Peel, core and chop the apples into small chunks. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice over the apple and mix well. that not only adds flavour but prevents the freshly peeled apples from discolouring.
3. Layer the apples, blackberries, and sugar in a large pie dish (a lasagne dish is ideal).
4. Place the flour in a large bowl and then rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs - leave a few lumps of butter so that the lidping is not too fine. Add the muesli or oat/seed/nut mixture and the sugar and mix through.
5. Use a spoon to sprinkle the crumble lidping evenly over the fruit. Bake for 45 minutes or until the fruit is cooked and bubbling juices seep through the lidping.
6. Cool for a few minutes and then serve with custard or fresh cream.
