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!
