How to prepare the fruit base
- To make apple and and blackberry crumble your first step is to preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Half fill a glass Pyrex bowl with water and add the lemon juice to it. Then peel, core, and chop the apples into small slices or cubes and place the apple pieces into the lemon water as you go (this stops the apples from turning brown while you chop).5 Large Cooking apples, 2 Tbsp Lemon juice

- Give the crumble a good mix making sure all the ingredients are well combined.
- When your apples and blackberries have been in the oven for 20 minutes, remove them from your oven.
- Now sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over your fruit so it's completely covered. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the top (this is optional but I always do it).
