  • A dessert (pudding) so simple and yet so delicious it graces the tables of many British homes including Royalty. The perfect end to a British Sunday roast dinner. Blackberry and Apple Crumble with Custard.
    I learn't to cook this dish as a young boy under the watchful eye of my mother and went on to prepare it for Royal lunch at Balmoral Castle, Windsor Castle and Sandringham. Everyone has their favorite crumble; apple, raspberry, rhubarb and Prince Charles favorite pear and banana but all agree the topping has to be custard and/or cream. Absolutely delicious!

    Blackberry and Apple Crumble with Custard
    Makes 6-8 portions
    4 cups blackberries
    2 cups apples, peeled and thinly sliced
    ¼ - ½ cup sugar
    1 TBS cornstarch
    For the crumble;
    2 cups flour
    1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
    ½ cup sugar
    For the vanilla crème anglaise;
    1 cup milk
    1 cup heavy cream
    6 egg yolks
    vanilla bean extract
    ¼ cup sugar
    Toss the blackberries, apples, sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl and pour into a casserole dish.
    In a large bowl add the flour, sugar and butter and rub together to make fine crumbs. Spread evenly over the fruit.
    Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30-40 minutes until the fruit is tender and the crumble is golden on top. Set aside to cool.
    Prepare the crème anglaise, bring the milk and cream to a boil in a heavy based pot. Whisk the egg yolks, vanilla and sugar until combined in a large bowl.
    Pour the boiling milk on to the egg mix and whisk until smooth. Return the mix to the pot and place back on the heat. Stir until the mix has the consistency of heavy cream.

    I used to pick blackberries with my Nana as a child in Tyneside over 65 years ago. They grew everywhere in the hedgerows, as well as back gardens, and we all loved them in pies or crumbles. It was such a treat, and as they were free nobody would dream of turning down a blackberry anything. Happy days. 😊

    Blackberry crumble brings back so many Autumn memories when my mom was still alive. I like to pick the blackberries myself and then make the crumble. Or apple crumble with custard. Best served warm with vanilla custard. But it only tastes when its Autumn - summer temperatures are to hot for this delicious dessert. I also like to make it for Christmas since it can be well prepared in advance.

      You could use a ground almonds/coconut flour instead of wheat flour. It takes a bit of experimentation to get the quantities right but it's worth the effort, but always butter, never margerine. Also, I use a few eating apples and one baking apple and no sugar, as I try to eat a low carb diet. Looking at what he uses for his custard I'd use half and half if I was in the USA :D
