Blackberry crumble

A perfect fruity pudding especially for after Sunday lunch

  • Serves4-5
  • 50 mins
  • 180°C/fan 160°C/gas mark 4

Emily's option

You can reduce the blackberries by a half and add a large chopped bramley apple. Gluten-free oats can be swapped for flaked almonds.

Ingredients

  • Crumble topping
  • 150g gluten-free plain flour
  • 50g butter, softened
  • 75g soft brown sugar (or granulated/caster sugar)
  • 50g gluten-free oats (optional only if you are allowed to eat them)
  • Fruit filling
  • 400g fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas mark 4.

2 Topping: place the gluten-free flour in a large mixing bowl and gently rub in the butter using your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and gluten-free oats.

3 Filling: place the blackberries into a heatproof bowl and sprinkle the sugar (to your taste). The blackberries will generate plenty of juice as they cook so there’s no need to add any water.

4 Assemble: sprinkle the crumble mixture over the blackberries. Use a fork to evenly spread the topping (don't press down too hard).

5 Cook on a high shelf in the oven for 30–40 minutes or until light brown colour on the top. Serve your crumble hot with lashings of custard or double cream and enjoy!
