Let’s dive in and learn how to create a mouthwatering apple and blackberry crumble that will leave your taste buds singing.

First things first, let’s gather our ingredients. For this recipe, you will need 4 large Granny Smith apples, 2 cups of fresh blackberries, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (softened), and a pinch of salt. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also add a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of lemon zest to kick up the flavor profile.

Now that we have all of our ingredients, it’s time to get cooking. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing a 9×13 inch baking dish. Next, peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the blackberries, granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the bowl and gently toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated with the sugar and spices.

Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, 1/2 cup of flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and a pinch of salt. Use your hands or a fork to mix everything together until it forms a crumbly, streusel-like texture. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the top of the fruit, covering it completely.

Once you’ve assembled your crumble, it’s time to pop it in the oven and let the magic happen. Bake the apple and blackberry crumble for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to make sure it doesn’t brown too quickly – if it does, simply cover it with foil for the remaining time.

When your crumble is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dessert is best enjoyed warm, so scoop generous portions into bowls and top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. The contrast of the warm, fruity filling and the cold, creamy topping is downright heavenly.

Now that you’ve learned how to make a scrumptious apple and blackberry crumble, it’s time to gather your ingredients and give it a try. Whether you’re making it for a special occasion, a casual weeknight treat, or just because, this dessert is sure to become a new favorite in your recipe repertoire. So roll up your sleeves and get ready to enjoy a sweet, satisfying taste of fall with this delightful apple and blackberry crumble. Happy baking!
