Apple & Blackberry Crumble
This apple and blackberry crumble features a crisp, buttery topping and a warm, spiced fruit compote. The crumble topping bakes separately first, ensuring it stays light and crunchy when spooned over the softened fruit. The fruit compote cooks down on the stovetop, with apples turning tender in a light caramel before the blackberries and cinnamon are stirred in. It's best served warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Bake the Crumble
Preheat your oven to 190 °C (170 °C fan/gas 5). In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the cold butter, then use your fingertips to rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles light breadcrumbs. Be careful not to overwork the dough, or the crumble will turn out heavy.
Sprinkle this mixture evenly over a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until it's lightly golden.
