The Method

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
3
Pour the fruit mixture into a 9-inch baking dish.
4
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon (if using).
5
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
6
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
8
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a generous dollop of Jersey clotted cream.

Chef's Tips

Use a variety of Jersey apples for a more complex flavor.

If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them before adding to the mixture.

For a crispier topping, add chopped nuts like almonds or pecans.

The crumble can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.

To reheat, cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.

"This terrine offers a lighter, fresher counterpoint to the richness of the cabbage loaf. The bean crock provides earthy notes, while the apple and cider dressing introduce a bright acidity that cuts through the cream and bacon. It's a refreshing start that still respects the regional flavors."
