Ingredients

  • For the crumble:

  • 75g plain flour

  • 100g spelt flour

  • 110g cold butter, cubed

  • 80g light muscovado sugar

  • 30g porridge oats

  • For the filling:

  • 400g mixed frozen berries

  • 150g cooking apples, cored, peeled and chopped

  • 2 tbs maple syrup

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. To make the crumble topping, mix the two flours and rub the butter into them until it looks like rough breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and oats. Set aside.

  2. Toss the berries, apple slices and maple syrup together and place them into an ovenproof dish. I use one that is about 9-inchs in width. Scoop the crumble mixture on top of the fruit and even it out with a fork them press it lightly with your hands. You can sprinkle a little more sugar on top if you like, or just pop it into the oven as is. Bake for about 40 minutes until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling. Allow to cool before serving.
