Twas November 2nd and our tummies did rumble,
When mum said: “I’ve got it! I’m making a crumble!”
So she sautéed some apples 
And some blackberries of course 
With a small pinch of cinnamon 
In a syrupy sauce,
Then she made golden crumble 
And spooned it on top,
Then into the oven 
That crumble did pop
And…

We scoffed the whole lot! 

• Melt 30g butter in a saucepan together with 30g Demerara Sugar until beginning to caramelise;
• Add 300g of sliced apples (I used a fairly tart red variety called ‘Braeburn)’ and 1 punnet (approx 120g) blackberries – add a dash of cinnamon and sautee until tender;
• In a separate bowl add 120g plain flour and 60g caster sugar. Lightly rub 60g cold butter into the flour and sugar mixture with fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs
• Arrange sautéed fruit in an oven proof dish and spoon crumble mixture on top – add some porridge oats if liked for extra texture and a sprinkling of Demerara sugar
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20 mins or golden and bubbling!
• Serve hot with cream, ice cream or custard!
• Couldn’t be simpler!

Enjoy!
