An English dish, my mum's favorite and now the favorite for my family, it incorporates blackberries, apples, and a crumble topping that makes for great dessert. Serve hot or cold with English custard, fresh cream, or ice cream.

Ingredients

3 large green apples, peeled and cored
⅓ cup water
3 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
½ pound fresh blackberries, or more to taste

Crumble Topping:

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter, slightly softened

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Slice apples and place in a saucepan with water and 3 tablespoons sugar. Heat over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring every minute to prevent sticking. Stir in blackberries and taste, adjusting sugar if necessary. Make sure apples get thoroughly coated with blackberry juice. Cook for about 3 minutes; mixture will still be runny. Pour into a 2-quart casserole dish and allow to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, and butter for crumble topping in a mixing bowl. Mix with an electric mixer or your fingers until it resembles bread crumbs. Pile the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
Cook in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Green cooking apples work best but sharp, great-eating apples work as well.

Add more berries if you use strawberries instead. Use rhubarb to boost up the fruit section.
