Ingredients

For the Crumble Topping

200 g Self Raising Flour (Self-Rising)
100 g Salted Butter - cold
100 g Sugar
¼ tsp Sea Salt Flakes
2 tbsp Demerara Sugar (Turbinado Sugar)

For the Fruit Filling

450 g Blackberries
1 tbsp Cornflour (Cornstarch)
400 g Apple
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180c fan | 200c | 390f.
Measure 200g Self Raising Flour and 100g Salted Butter into a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces as you add it.
Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips. It is ready when the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Measure in 100g Sugar and ¼ tsp Sea Salt Flakes then stir into the flour butter mix until evenly distributed.
Set aside the crumble mix for the time being.
Tip 450g Blackberries into a baking dish. The blackberries should make roughly 2 layers in the bottom.
Sprinkle over 1 tbsp Cornflour and toss the berries until they’re evenly covered. Set aside.
Top, tail, peel and quarter 400g Apple. Slice the core out and slice each quarter into thin slices.
It is best to do this an apple at a time. Once the first apple is sliced, add it to a bowl and toss with 1 tbsp Lemon Juice. Keep adding the apple slices to the same bowl and toss to coat in the lemon juice. This will stop the apple from turning brown.
Tip the apple slices on top of the blackberries. Give them a mix in the baking dish – just so everything is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit.
Heap the crumble up more in the middle of the dish and keep it thinner at the edges.
Lightly sprinkle 2 tbsp Demerara Sugar over the top of the crumble for extra crunch.
Bake for 50 minutes then serve warm.
