Ingredients
60g cold butter, cut into small cubes
120g plain flour
20g of porridge oats
80g light brown sugar, 50g for the crumble and 30g for the fruit
280g apples
150g blackberries
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
Method
Preheat your oven to 180ºC/gas mark 4.
Cut the cold butter into little cubes.
Put the flour, oats and 50g of the sugar into a big bowl and mix them together with your hands. Add in the cubes of butter.
Put your two hands into the bowl and rub the mixture between your palms This will mix the butter and the other ingredients together. Keep rubbing until it is all mixed and it looks like breadcrumbs. Leave this aside in a cool place while you get your fruit ready.
Carefully peel the apples and cut out the core from the inside. Now cut the apples into small pieces.
Put the apples into a bowl and add the blackberries and sprinkle them with the cinnamon and sugar. Mix everything together. Scoop this mixture between four small ovenproof ramekin dishes.
Next cover the top of each dish of fruit with the crumble and press it down slightly.
Ask an adult to place the ramekins into the heated oven. Bake for about 25 minutes until the crumble is golden and the apple is soft. Ask an adult to test them and take them out of the oven if they are ready.
Allow your crumbles to cool down before eating.
