Apple And Blackberry Crumble Food

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.

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 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.

• Layer apples and pears in the bottom of the 3 pie tins; sprinkle blackberries over apples and pears. Evenly distribute flour mixture over the fruit mixture.
