Mary Berry Apple Blackberry Crumble Recipes

APPLE CRUMBLE WITH WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 (160C fan).
• Peel and core the apples, then cut them into thin slices. Place in a small flameproof casserole with the lemon juice, sugar and six tablespoonfuls of water. Bring to the boil, then place in the oven and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the apple is tender but has not fallen to a pulp.
• Put the dry topping ingredients in a mixing bowl and rub in the butter until it is evenly distributed and the mixture has formed small clumps. Spread the mixture evenly over a baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp.
• Stir to break up the crumble and sprinkle over the hot apple.

BLACKBERRY & APPLE LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C. Butter and line the bottom of a 1.7 litre loaf tin (see tip below). In a large bowl, rub the flour, butter and muscovado sugar together with your fingers to make fine crumbs. Measure out 5 level tbsp of this mixture into a small bowl for the topping, and mix in to it the cinnamon and demerara sugar. Set aside.
• Coarsely grate the apple down to the core and mix in with the eggs and the zest. Stir the baking powder into the rubbed-in mixture in the large bowl, then quickly and lightly stir in the egg mixture until it drops lightly from the spoon. Don't overmix.
• Gently fold in three quarters of the berries with a metal spoon, trying not to break them up. Spoon into the tin and level. Scatter the rest of the berries on top. Sprinkle over the topping and bake for 1¼ -1 hour 20 minutes. Check after 50 minutes and cover loosely with foil if it is browning too much. When done the cake will feel firm, but test with a skewer.
• Leave in the tin for 30 minutes before turning out, then cool on a wire rack. Peel off the paper before cutting. Will keep wrapped in foil or in a tin for up to 2 days.

APPLE & BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip 120g plain flour and 60g caster sugar into a large bowl.
• Add 60g unsalted butter, then rub into the flour using your fingertips to make a light breadcrumb texture. Do not overwork it or the crumble will become heavy.
• Sprinkle the mixture evenly over a baking sheet and bake for 15 mins or until lightly coloured.
• Meanwhile, for the compote, peel, core and cut 300g Braeburn apples into 2cm dice.
• Put 30g unsalted butter and 30g demerara sugar in a medium saucepan and melt together over a medium heat. Cook for 3 mins until the mixture turns to a light caramel.
• Stir in the apples and cook for 3 mins. Add 115g blackberries and ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, and cook for 3 mins more.
• Cover, remove from the heat, then leave for 2-3 mins to continue cooking in the warmth of the pan.
• To serve, spoon the warm fruit into an ovenproof gratin dish, top with the crumble mix, then reheat in the oven for 5-10 mins. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

BLACKBERRY AND APPLE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Slice apples and place in a saucepan with water and 3 tablespoons sugar. Heat over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring every minute to prevent sticking. Stir in blackberries and taste, adjusting sugar if necessary. Make sure apples get thoroughly coated with blackberry juice. Cook for about 3 minutes; mixture will still be runny. Pour into a 2-quart casserole dish and allow to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, and butter for crumble topping in a mixing bowl. Mix with an electric mixer or your fingers until it resembles bread crumbs. Pile the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
• Cook in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

APPLE BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter or grease your eight individual ramekins or either a 2 qt baking dish or 9 x 13 baking pan. *The filling should cover the bottom of the flat baking dish adequately but not be deeper than approx 1 1/2 inches.
• In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples with enough lemon juice to coat the sliced and cut apples (to prevent browning and add flavor). Add the lemon zest and sugar, stir to coat thoroughly. Then add the blackberries and stir them in gently.
• Portion the filling out into your prepared ramekins or baking dish.
• To make the crumble topping, combine the almond flour, quick oats, and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and use a fork to coat the dry mixture. Break up any chunks and stir until you have a good crumbly appearance.
• Use the fork to help spread the crumble topping over the fruit filling in your individual portions or baking dish. Transfer to the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake at 375° F (190°C) for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Cover with the remaining apples and add the remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture.
