Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

120g plain flour
60g caster sugar
60g unsalted butter at room temperature, cut into pieces
300g Braeburn apple
30g unsalted butter
30g demerara sugar
115g blackberries
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
vanilla ice cream, to serve

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.
