Shall I make a crumble or a pie from these home-grown apples and blackberries? Originaly it was going to be a crumble then remembered I had a shop bought pastry in the fridge. So came up with this;
For the pie
500gms Blackberries
2 or 3 peeled, cored and chopped apples
A Pastry, I used a puff pastry
150gms Sugar
For the crumble
225gms Flour
175gms Butter
50gms Sugar
Rub together the flour butter and sugar
Line a greased shallow pie mould, as this was a shop bought pastry I left it on the paper. Bake long enough to start cooking the pastry remove when the pastry starts to colour.
If you wish, cook the apple with a little water and sugar to soften it, but I like a little crunch from the apples so I don’t, mix the fruit and the sugar and put into the pastry case.
Cover the fruit with the crumble mix.
Place in oven
And bake at 200°c for about 45mins
And serve
With custard, whipped or ice cream.
