400g apple , peeled, cored and cut into small pieces
400g stoned plum , cut into chunky wedges
2 tbsp sugar , any type
300g fig , woody stalks trimmed, quartered
300g blackberry or brambles, washed well
cream, custard or ice cream , to serve
140g plain flour
140g wholemeal flour
175g butter , cut into small pieces

Steps:

First make the topping. Put the flours in a bowl with a pinch of salt, then rub in the butter with your fingertips to form crumbs. Stir in the sugar with a fork, and chill until needed.
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Tip the apples, plums and sugar into a big saucepan with 50ml water and cook, stirring, for about 5 mins, until the apples are soft and juicy. Stir in the figs and blackberries, and tip into a baking dish. Scatter over the crumble and bake for 45-55 mins until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
