Ingredients
- 3 Bramley apples, quartered, cored and finely chopped
- 2 punnets (small baskets, or pints) blackberries
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Small handful basil, chopped
- 5 heaping tablespoons sugar
- 4 heaping tablespoons flour
- 1/4 pound butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C or gas 6).
Put the fruit into the bowl with the balsamic vinegar, basil, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Add a little more sugar if your blackberries are a bit sour. Mix and put aside to marinate.
Using your fingers, rub together the flour, butter, and the rest of the sugar (you can also do this in a food processor?just blitz until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs). I prefer to do this by hand as I like to end up with a nice rustic-looking crumble?with some bits bigger than others.
Put the fruit into an ovenproof serving dish or into individual dishes. Sprinkle the crumble mix over the fruit, making sure to pile more into the middle of the dish. Bake it in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the middle of the crumble is evenly golden and the fruit has started to bubble up around the edges.

This crumble is delicious every time I make it. Plus it's so quick and simple to put together. I honestly end up making a double batch of the crumble topping and freeze it so then I can just grab whatever fruit we have on hand (within reason...bananas don't sound good... and we have a dessert fit for company at a last minutes notice. Love it.
p.s. I tend to add less sugar to my fruit unless it's particularly in need of it since I find it to be very sweet then, but that could just be personal taste. :
