Ingredients

  • 3 (3) medium cooking apples, Bramley work best
  • 500 g (3 2/7 cups) blackberries, fresh or frozen
  • 30 g (1 oz) flour
  • 75 g (2 ⅔ oz) caster, granulated sugar
  • 1 (1) lemon, juice only
  • 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract

For the crumble topping

  • 225 g (8 oz) cold butter, salted or unsalted
  • 100 g (3 ½ oz) soft light brown sugar, dark brown sugar works too
  • 125 g (1 ½ cups) rolled oats, not quick cooking
  • 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) ground cinnamon
  • 175 g (6 ⅙ oz) plain, all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160ºC fan or 180ºC conventional (350F)
  • If using fresh berries give them a quick rinse under a cold tap to wash off any dirt. Peel and chop the apples. Add the fruit to a medium mixing bowl along with the lemon juice, plain flour, and sugar. Toss everything well to coat the fruit well.
  • Place the fruit in an oven-safe baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.
  • To make the crumble topping place all the ingredients in the bowl and rub the flour into the butter until the mixture looks rough with pea-sized bits. Or use a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles chunky breadcrumbs. Place the mixture on top of the fruit and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until the fruit is soft and bubbling up around the sides of the dish.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before dishing into bowls and topping with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If you have leftover oat crumble topping, it can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 months in an air-tight container.
