Who doesn’t love a crumble? This amazing pud is simple to make and takes less than an hour start to finish. Eat with vanilla ice cream or custard. Serves 8.
Recipe
For the Crumble Topping:
240g Plain Flour
120g Caster Sugar
120g Butter
For the Fruit:
6 Medium Apples
200g Blackberries
60g Butter
60g Demerara Sugar
1/4 Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon
Method
1. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Mix the flour and the sugar in a big bowl. Then add the butter and rub it into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
2. Next, peel, core and cut the apples into chunks. Put the butter and sugar together in a saucepan over a medium heat and blend together for about for 3 mins until the mixture turns to caramel. Chuck in the apples and cook for 3 mins, then add the blackberries and cinnamon. Cook for a further 3 mins then remove from the heat and leave for 2-3 mins to continue cooking in the pan.
3. Now pour the fruit into an ovenproof dish and spread the crumble over the top. Put it in the oven for about 15 -20 mins until the crumble is lovely and golden.
4. Serve with vanilla ice cream, or custard (cold or warmed up – whichever you prefer).
Ace.
