Blackberry and apple nutty crumble

Crumble topping

1. 01 Heat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan, gas 5). Put the flour and caster sugar in a large bowl.
2. 02 Rub in the butter with your fingertips until it looks like light breadcrumbs. Don't overwork it, or the crumble turns heavy.
3. 03 Spread the mix evenly over a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until lightly coloured.

Fruit compote

4. 04 Meanwhile, peel and core the apples and cut them into 2cm dice.
5. 05 Melt the butter and demerara sugar together in a medium pan over a medium heat, and cook for 3 minutes until it turns to a light caramel.
6. 06 Stir in the apples and cook for 3 minutes, then add the blackberries and cinnamon and cook for 3 minutes more.
7. 07 Cover, take off the heat and leave for 2-3 minutes to finish cooking in the warmth of the pan.

To serve

8. 08 Spoon the warm fruit into an ovenproof dish, top with the baked crumble and reheat in the oven for 5-10 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
