Mulberry and Apple Crumble

You never see mulberries at the supermarket for sale.  Such a shame.  A completely underrated berry, in my opinion.

Anyway, I was up visiting my Mum a few weeks ago and she has a mulberry tree.  We picked and ate to our heart's content.  I ended up with a purple mouth and purple hands and feet.  Such fun!

As the weekend was such a rush, I carefully packed some of the delicious berries into a container and brought them home with me.

Now to the crumble!
Yum!
Heat the oven to about 170 degrees celcius (about 180 if you don't have a fan-forced oven).
125gm butter
125gm plain flour
50gm sugar (add a little brown for a really caramel-y crumble!)

Rub the butter, flour and sugar together until it feels a crumbly texture.  Set aside.

Two pink lady apples (I'm sure any apples would work)
Cut your apples up onto bit-sized chunks.

Mmmmm.....the star - mulberries!  I used about 2 cups worth.  Wash thoroughly!



Layer the apples chucks and the mulberries in an oven proof dish.
Sprinkle with about 50 grams of caster sugar (use more or less depending on your taste.  I don't like mine sickly sweet).

Cover the fruit with an even layer of the crumble mixture and bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until golden on the top.


I like mine with custard.

Mmmmm....so delicious!
