    Apple and Blueberry Crumble

    A layer of fresh apple slices and juicy blueberries flavored with cinnamon and topped with a buttery oat crumble topping and baked to golden-brown perfection!

    This recipe is my go-to fruity dessert, especially in summer. I think that this recipe is simple enough to be whipped up by a five-year-old. It might just be the easiest one I have on the blog.

    I experimented with crumble topping A LOT until I reached the best texture, which is using equal amounts of oats, flour and butter. So, don't use less butter; otherwise, your crumble could turn out to be dry.

    I also like my crumble topping to be about 2cm thick over the fruit layer.

    What You’ll Need

    Apple and Blueberry Fruit Layer

    • Apples: I use 3 large Granny Smith apples, and I prefer to peel them and slice them thinly.
    • Blueberries: I use fresh blueberries, they complement the apples so well.
    • Cinnamon: It adds a woody, spicy flavor.
    • All-purpose flour
    • Granulated sugar: I use only one tablespoon to sweetness the fruit layer a little.

    For the Crumble Topping

    • Flour: I use all purpose flour.
    • Brown Sugar: I like it because it adds a nice flavor.
    • Oats: I used porridge oats, also, rolled oats work well.
    • Butter: I prefer to use cold unsalted butter.

    How To Make Apple and Blueberry Crumble?

    The process of preparing this crumble involves preparing two different mixtures and then combining them together. So before doing anything, Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F.

    steps of making the recipe

    The Fruit layer:

    One: Peel, core and cut the apples. That is after you wash them well, of course. Now take measures to clean the blueberries as well.

    Two: In a 20cm baking pan, mix together the blueberries, apples, sugar, cinnamon and flour. Don’t forget to layer it in the pan nice and even as there’s another layer that is to be placed on top. Set this fruit layer aside.

    steps of making the crumble

    Making the Crumble:

    Three: To make the crumble topping, In a mixing bowl, mix flour with butter well, then add oats and brown sugar, and mix until crumble forms.

    Pro Tip: Using the butter while it’s still cold will help you achieve the “crumbly” effect we’re going for with the recipe.

    Assemble:

    Four: Now, spread the crumble topping on top of the apple blueberries mixture we set aside before. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the crumble topping is golden.

    Ta-da, Your wholesome blueberry crumble with apples and ready to be served. I like to pair it with a scoop of Melon Ice Cream or a cup of Medjool Date Shake or White Chocolate Latte.

    Tip: So, How do you know if your crumble is done? Once the fruit layer becomes bubbly and the topping golden brown, your apple blueberry crumble is done.

    How To Store It

    • Make ahead of time: Prepare and assemble the crumble and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days, ready for baking.
    • Store: To store it, cover well with a plastic wrap (you may also put 1-2 pepper towels on top before wrapping) and keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
    • To reheat: I prefer to reheat it in the microwave for about 1 minute.
    • Freeze: The blueberry crumble with apple freezes so well. It can be kept in the Freeze for up to 2 months.

      You inspire me with this recipe. Although I’m not a fan of apples, but I like to try the combination of apple and blueberry.
