This blackberry and apple crumble is bursting with so many delicious flavors from brown sugar and cinnamon coated blackberries and apples, and the buttery, oat crumble top. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipping cream for the perfect dessert.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9" pie plate or baking pan and set aside.
Make the Topping: In a bowl, combine flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon and salt. Add softened butter in chunks and mix until incorporated, I like to use a fork to get it all together. Add to the refrigerator and proceed to making the filling.
Make the Filling: Peel and cut apples into chunks. Add apple and blackberries to a bowl. Add juice from half a lemon, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt. Toss together gently until all of the fruit is covered with sugar mixture. Add to a 9 inch pie pan or baking dish.
Remove topping from refrigerator and place clumps on top of apple/blackberry mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until topping becomes golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Notes
This can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days depending on how long it takes to enjoy.I have tried this with frozen blackberries as well, it will become a bit runnier as the moisture from the frozen berries seeps out, but it still works fine and tastes delicious.You could easily do all apples or all blackberries, or sub in other fruits depending on what your preference is.This recipe can be made gluten free if using gluten free flour and oats.
