Classic Blackberry Crumble Recipe

I LOVE fruit crumble recipes! Since I had blackberries in my fridge, I made this super comforting blackberry crumble.

This DELICIOUS dessert is bursting with the vibrant color and flavors of ripe blackberries and topped with a sweet, golden, crumbly topping.

Blackberry Crumble

I made apple and blueberry crumble last week, and it was SO good. Today's crumble recipe is SOOO easy; it is one of the best and easiest summer desserts I have made.

I have tested this recipe several times to make the perfect crumble. Ideally, I use equal parts of butter, sugar, flour and oat.

However, the recipe is SUPER easy, and it takes only a few minutes to prepare and bake.

I usually make the crumble mixture up to four days in advance. However, I keep it in the fridge so the butter stays chilled.

What Is In This Classic Blackberry Crumble Recipe?

Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Blackberries. I use fresh Blackberries, but frozen and canned ones work as well. They still make the dish taste great, but you will end up with a more syrup consistency.

Apples. I like to use sour apples such as Granny Smith.

Caster Sugar. It is the main sweetness of this recipe.

All purpose flour. I mix it with the butter to make the crumbly topping. You may use gluten-free flour to make the recipe gluten-free.

Rolled Oats. Rolled Oats add an absolutely enjoyable crunch to the crumbles.

Butter. You can go for either Salted or Unsalted Butter – both work for this recipe.

Brown Sugar. Brown Sugar will add the caramel-y flavour to the recipe.

How to Make The Best Blackberry Crumble Recipe?

One: Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F.

Two: In a baking pan or baking dish, mix together blackberries, apple slices, and caster sugar and let it sit for a while; the berries will absorb the sugar and release sweet juices.

Three: In a mixing bowl, mix together plain Flour, brown sugar, oats, and melted Butter until crumbles form.

Four - Add the crumble topping: Sprinkle the crumble mixture on top of the blackberries mixture and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden and crispy.

Tip: If you notice the filling becoming bubbly and the top turning deliciously golden, that is your clue to take the baking tray out of the oven.

Top Tips!

• Sprinkling the crumbles by hand is a better option as compared to using spoons, as it ensures that the crumbles evenly cover everything.
• If you are using frozen blackberries, make sure to thaw them well. Also, drain the excess moisture completely to avoid making the Crumble soupy.
• Do not cut the apples too small so that their shape is retained when baking. Quarters or large slices are the best way to go.
