Thermomix Blackberry and Apple Crumble
A deliciously cosy dessert that's perfect for winter.
Servings: 5
Ingredients
For the Blackberry & Apple Filling
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes, see notes
- 250 g blackberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
For the Crumble Topping
- 160 g plain flour
- 115 g unsalted butter, chilled, see notes
- 80 g brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F (180°C fan).
For the Blackberry & Apple Filling
- Peel and core the apples and roughly cut them into 2cm cubes. Place them in a 23cm x 17cm oval baking dish, or one of similar proportions. Add the blackberries, sugar and cinnamon, then toss to combine.
For the Crumble Topping
- Add the flour, chilled butter and brown sugar to the Thermomix bowl and mix for 15-25 sec/speed 5, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and starts to clump together. Be careful not to overmix, or it will become pastry.
To Assemble
- Tip the crumble topping evenly over the blackberry and apple filling and press down gently with the back of a fork. Don't be afraid to pile it high as the fruit shrinks down as it cooks.
- Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and the blackberries and apples are bubbling around the edges.
- Serve immediately with custard, cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Apples: Granny Smith apples are the perfect choice - they're tart and hold their shape well during baking. Other apples will work but may go mushy. Cut into even 2cm cubes so they cook through evenly.
Butter: Your butter must be straight from the fridge - if it's soft, you'll end up with pastry.
Variation: You can also make individual portions in ramekins, just reduce the baking time and keep an eye on them.
Storage: Allow to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
