Ingredients

  • 55g (2oz) plain wholemeal flour
  • 25g (1oz) rolled oats or medium oatmeal
  • 25g (1oz) sunflower spread
  • 25g (1oz) soft light brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 eating apples, such as Braeburn (about 375–400g/13–14oz total/unprepared weight)
  • 150g (5½oz) fresh blackberries
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened apple juice
  • 1½ tsp clear honey

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan/gas mark 4. Place flour and oats in a bowl; lightly rub in sunflower spread until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. Peel, core and thinly slice apples. Place apples and blackberries in an ovenproof dish. Mix together apple juice and honey; pour over fruit and stir gently to mix.
  3. Spoon crumble mixture evenly over fruit to cover fruit completely. Bake in oven for about 40 minutes or until fruit is soft and crumble is cooked and lightly browned. Serve hot or warm in its own or with 0% fat thick Greek-style natural yogurt or fat-free plain fromage frais.

Cook’s Tips

  • Swap fresh raspberries or blueberries for the blackberries.
  • Try using pears instead of the apples.
  • The cooked crumble is suitable for freezing for up to 1 month. It also reheats well.
  • Baked or stewed fruit (without the crumble topping) is ideal with porridge or yoghurt for a healthy breakfast.
