Blackberry and Apple Crumble is the most delicious summer dessert! Juicy blackberries and apples with a crunchy topping of oats, coconut, and almonds!
Blackberries?!
I know.
It’s not berry season but I got some in my Bountiful Baskets basket a few weeks back and I can’t stand the little seedy things so the only thing to do was bake with them.
And since apples are so delicious right now I figured this Blackberry Apple Crumble was the perfect thing to make.
Blackberry and Apple Crumble!
It’s a super simple little dessert and so yummy.
Like I mentioned, I don’t like blackberries but I found this to be irresistible. The apples are cooked until soft and then they’re mixed with blackberries before being topped with oats, coconut, sliced almonds, and some cinnamon and ginger. I love, love, love the coconut and almonds in the topping – it’s what makes it different from your everyday crumble.
If you are a normal person who doesn’t buy blackberries in November, you could easily substitute frozen ones or just leave them out completely.
