Ingredients
- Medium cooking apples (about 550-600g whole weight) 2, peeled, cored & diced
- Blackberries 150g
- Granulated sugar 2-3 tbsp, adjust to taste
- water 100ml
- butter 200g, softened
- Light brown sugar 200g
- self raising flour 200g
- bicarbonate of soda 1tsp
- Porridge oats 150g
- You will also need a 20×30 cm tin, about 2cm deep, greased & lined with baking paper
Method
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
-
Step 2
Add the apple, blackberries, sugar and water to a medium pan. Cover and simmer gently until soft – about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
-
Step 3
Whizz together the butter and sugar in a food processor until creamed, then add the flour and bicarbonate of soda and pulse until combined; the mixture will be quite crumbly.
-
Step 4
Lastly, add the oats and pulse again until mixed. Tip about two thirds of the crumble mix into the prepared tin and press down well with the back of a spoon. Spread the fruit all over the base evenly.
-
Step 5
Sprinkle over the remaining crumble mixture then bake for 25 minutes until the top is crisp and golden.
-
Step 6
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares.
