A simple and delicious crumble featuring locally sourced Jersey apples and blackberries, topped with a buttery crumble and served with a dollop of crème fraîche. Perfect after a rich savory dish.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
Pour the fruit mixture into the baking dish.
To make the crumble topping, in a separate bowl, combine the flour, cold butter, brown sugar, and oats (if using).
Rub the butter into the flour and sugar mixture using your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Avoid overworking the mixture.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of crème fraîche.
Nutrition per serving (300g)
For a richer flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the fruit mixture.
If the crumble starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
The crumble can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

"Pairs perfectly with this dessert"

A creamy and vibrant soup featuring Jersey Royal potatoes and peppery watercress, topped with homemade croutons.
"This creamy soup provides a light and earthy counterpoint to the richness of the scallops and parsnip puree. The watercress adds a peppery note that cuts through the sweetness, while the crispy croutons offer a textural contrast. Using Jersey Royal potatoes aligns with the regional cuisine and reinforces the casual, comforting mood."
