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.

    Yum! Bet it would be good with cranberries instead of blackberries if people wanted to make it more seasonal. But mmmm…blackberries. Yum!
