3 Granny Smith or Cooking Apples
1 punnet Blackberries
8oz All Purpose or Plain Flour
4oz Butter
4oz Sugar
12 Ameretti Biscuits
5 slices Crystalised Ginger (Optional)
Method:
Peel, core & chop apple into quarters, then slice each quarter into 4 pieces.
Add apple chunks, finely sliced ginger, (optional), approx 2 tablespoons of water & sugar to a saucepan. Cover & cook on a mid temperature while you prepare the crust.
For the Crumble Crust put the flour, butter & sugar into a bowl. The butter should be cold & cut into cubes.
Now it's time to get your hands dirty.... so make sure you've washed them properly. Mix all the crumble ingredients together & start squeezing the butter cubes between your fingers, while combining it with the butter & sugar until you have something that looks like breadcrumbs. Then crush the Ameretti biscuits roughly in your hand & mix with the rest of the crumble mix.
The apples should now be cooked. Put the apples into your oven proof crumble bowl & add the washed blackberries.
You can complete the above stages earlier in the day. If you are doing this, cover the fruit mix & the crumble top separately & store in a cool place. When you are ready to cook the crumble, combine the elements & sprinkle sugar on the top. Then place towards the top of a pre-heated oven on 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit & cook for 30 minutes. Serve with Birds custard, I know it's wrong but it's such a nostalgic taste that I have to have it.
Enjoy! The review of this particular crumble was, 'I've never tasked better!"
