Blackberry and Apple Crumble

Apples are available all year round and at very good prices in the shops. But, out of season, blackberries cost a fortune, around £1.80 for 150g. We suggest you pick them when they are in season and then freeze them for later use.
The combination of sweet dark blackberries and tart green apples makes a perfect blackberry and apple crumble with very little extra sugar needed.

HOW MANY SERVINGS Four good servings

TIME TO PREPARE None (blackberries may need to be defrosted)

COOKING TIME 40 minutes

WILL IT FREEZE? Yes, this recipe freezes well.

INGREDIENTS

Ingredient	How Much
THE FILLING
Blackberries	150g / 5¼oz
Sugar	1½ tablespoons

THE CLASSIC CRUMBLE
Self-raising flour	280g / 10oz
Brown or white sugar	140g / 5oz
Cooking margarine	140g / 5oz

PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 180°C - 350°F - Gas Mark 4.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the cooking margarine and flour into a largish bowl and blend them together. We found it easiest to use hands but a fork or food blender does the job as well. Continue mixing until it forms mainly evenly sized crumbs. This takes 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the sugar and blend that in as well. This will make the mixture even more crumbly.

2. If you are using large blackberries, chop them up a bit. Layer the bottom of the oven proof dish with apples, then the blackberries and then another layer of apples. Sprinkle the sugar over the top. Now spread the crumble mixture over the top of the fruit.
Place in the pre-heated oven and cook for 40 minutes. Serve warm with lots of double cream or ice cream

If any of your apple and blackberry crumble is left over then put it in the fridge and eat it for breakfast the next day. Absolutely heavenly!
