• fruit450g g

  chopped into 1cm chunks (we used 400g Bramley apples and 50g fresh blackberries)

• granulated sugar↗75g g
• butter↗50g g

  cold and cubed

• plain flour↗100g g
• demerara sugar↗50g g

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 °C/160 °C fan/gas 4. Combine the fruit and granulated sugar (use less sugar if using canned fruit) and toss to coat evenly. Transfer to a pie dish that fits snugly.

2. 2

   Rub the butter into the flour until a light breadcrumb texture forms. Do not overwork, or the crumble will become heavy. Stir in the demerara sugar until combined and spread over the fruit until fully covered.

3. 3

   Bake for 35‑50 minutes until golden brown and bubbling, and the fruit is tender. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
