Blackberry and apple crumble

Defrost those summer blackberries, get hold of some of those bramley apples and make a cracking Blackberry and apple crumble.

Crumbles are one of my favourite desserts. There’s something just so homely about them and they’re the easiest of desserts to make as well.

There’s quite a few crumble recipes on this blog and they can be found here.
