Organic Blackberry and Apple Crumble

Submitted by: Gill Crane

Serves: 4 - 6, OMSCo staff

Ingredients

When there are loads of blackberries around, don’t let them go to waste. This version of an old favourite uses oats which give the topping a chewy texture.

Filling
3 large Bramley apples
30g butter
150g sugar
Pinch of cinnamon
80g blackberries

Crumble
100g wholemeal flour
100g porridge oats
100g butter
100g brown sugar

To serve
Fresh cream or creme fraiche

Method

Preheat oven to 200C
Peel, core and thickly slice the apples
Heat butter in a pan, add apples and cook gently. Add sugar and cinnamon and continue stirring until apples are just softened. Remove from heat and add blackberries, stirring in very carefully

Put all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and then rub in the butter until it makes a coarse crumble. (This is easier if you cut the butter into smaller pieces first).
Put the fruit into an ovenproof dish and spread the crumble evenly on top.

Cook for around 15/20 minutes until topping is browned. Serve hot with the cream or cream fraiche
