    Classic Blackberry Crumble Recipe

    Published: Aug 2, 2022 by Radwa ·

    Jump to 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.

    Classic Blackberry Crumble Recipe

    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?

    steps of making the recipe by photos

    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.

      We cannot convert cups,tablespoons etc in recipes Since we still do things the old fashioned way, it would be nice to have those ingredients listed in cups etc along with the other way 150g. What is that?
