Fruit Ingredients:
- 750 grams (26.5 ounces) Bramley apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 300 grams (10.5 ounces) blackberries
- 50 grams (1.75 ounces) caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Dry Crumble Topping Ingredients:
- 125 grams (4.4 ounces) plain flour
- 125 grams (4.4 ounces) oats
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) light brown sugar
Wet Crumble Topping Ingredients:
- 125 grams (4.4 ounces) butter, melted
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 180°C and lightly coat a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Combine flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl, creating a dry base for the crumble topping.
- Pour melted butter into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until the mixture develops a slightly lumpy, crumbly texture.
- Arrange sliced apples and fresh blackberries in an even layer across the prepared baking dish.
- Delicately sprinkle caster sugar and ground cinnamon over the fruit to enhance natural sweetness and add warm aromatic notes.
- Evenly distribute the prepared crumble mixture across the top of the fruit, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and bubbling fruit underneath.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, letting the fruit settle and the topping crisp up before serving.
Notes
- Choose firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Bramley for the best balance of sweetness and texture in your crumble.
- Freeze fresh blackberries during peak season to enjoy this dessert year-round, ensuring intense fruity flavor.
- Adjust sugar levels based on the ripeness of your fruits; taste the fruit mixture before adding the topping to gauge sweetness.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond flour or gluten-free oat flour in the crumble topping.
