Apple Berry Crumble

What better way to spend a Sunday than making a crumble? I had some apples and frozen berries that I wanted to use up so I tried my first recipe from Cooking with Apples and Pears by Laura Washburn. I made a slightly different version as I had some slivered almonds I wanted to use up and instead of the fresh blackberries I used frozen mixed berries. It turned out really well and due to the slivered almonds the topping was a little crunchy, which I really liked. 

4-6 servings

900g apples, peeled, cored, cut into small pieces

450g blackberries

50g sugar

For the crumble

80g oats

140g flour

80g light brown sugar

80 g ground almonds

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

150g butter, cut into pieces

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390° F).

Mix the apples, berries and sugar in a bowl and put this mixture into a buttered baking pan.

For the crumble mix oats, flour, sugar, almonds and cinnamon in a bowl. Add the butter and rub into mixture until you get coarse crumble. Top the fruit with the crumble and bake 35-40  minutes until the crumble turns golden brown and the fruit bubbly. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream made with vanilla extract and powdered sugar.
