Blackberry And Apple Crumble Recipes

BLACKBERRY AND APPLE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. For the crumble topping, sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl, add the butter and rub the mixture together with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs, as for pastry. Continue rubbing in until the mixture begins to stick together to form small pea-size clumps. Stir in the demerara sugar.
• Peel, quarter and core the bramley apples, then thinly slice them into a large mixing bowl. Peel, quarter and core the eating apples, then cut them into slightly thicker wedges. Add to the bramleys with the blackberries and mix together.
• Mix the cornflour with the caster sugar, add to the bowl of fruit and toss together well. Set aside for a few minutes until the fruit juices begin to seep out and make the sugar damp, then toss everything together once more until the cornflour mixture clings to the outside of the fruit.
• Spoon the fruity mixture into the baking dish, then pack it down into an even layer with your hands or the back of a spoon.
• Spoon the crumble mixture in an even layer over the top of the fruit. Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is richly golden brown and the fruit is bubbling hot and tender.
• Remove the crumble from the oven and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot with custard, crème fraîche, cream, ice cream or yogurt.

APPLE AND BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
• Peel, core and chop the apples into small chunks. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice over the apple and mix well. This not only adds flavour but prevents the freshly peeled apples from discolouring.
• Layer the apples, blackberries, and sugar in a large pie dish (a lasagne dish is ideal).
• Place the flour in a large bowl and then rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs - leave a few lumps of butter so that the topping is not too fine. Add the muesli or oat/seed/nut mixture and the sugar and mix through.
• Use a spoon to sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit. Bake for 45 minutes or until the fruit is cooked and bubbling juices seep through the topping.
• Cool for a few minutes and then serve with custard or fresh cream.

BLACKBERRY AND APPLE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Slice apples and place in a saucepan with water and 3 tablespoons sugar. Heat over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring every minute to prevent sticking. Stir in blackberries and taste, adjusting sugar if necessary. Make sure apples get thoroughly coated with blackberry juice. Cook for about 3 minutes; mixture will still be runny. Pour into a 2-quart casserole dish and allow to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, and butter for crumble topping in a mixing bowl. Mix with an electric mixer or your fingers until it resembles bread crumbs. Pile the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
• Cook in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

APPLE & BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip 120g plain flour and 60g caster sugar into a large bowl.
• Add 60g unsalted butter, then rub into the flour using your fingertips to make a light breadcrumb texture. Do not overwork it or the crumble will become heavy.
• Sprinkle the mixture evenly over a baking sheet and bake for 15 mins or until lightly coloured.
• Meanwhile, for the compote, peel, core and cut 300g Braeburn apples into 2cm dice.
• Put 30g unsalted butter and 30g demerara sugar in a medium saucepan and melt together over a medium heat. Cook for 3 mins until the mixture turns to a light caramel.
• Stir in the apples and cook for 3 mins. Add 115g blackberries and ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, and cook for 3 mins more.
• Cover, remove from the heat, then leave for 2-3 mins to continue cooking in the warmth of the pan.
• To serve, spoon the warm fruit into an ovenproof gratin dish, top with the crumble mix, then reheat in the oven for 5-10 mins. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

APPLE BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter or grease your eight individual ramekins or either a 2 qt baking dish or 9 x 13 baking pan. *The filling should cover the bottom of the flat baking dish adequately but not be deeper than approx 1 1/2 inches.
• In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples with enough lemon juice to coat the sliced and cut apples (to prevent browning and add flavor). Add the lemon zest and sugar, stir to coat thoroughly. Then add the blackberries and stir them in gently.
• Portion the filling out into your prepared ramekins or baking dish.
• To make the crumble topping, combine the almond flour, quick oats, and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and use a fork to coat the dry mixture. Break up any chunks and stir until you have a good crumbly appearance.
• Use the fork to help spread the crumble topping over the fruit filling in your individual portions or baking dish. Transfer to the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake at 375° F (190°C) for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
