Ingredients

• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 50 grams rolled oats
• 500 grams apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 200 grams berries (e.g., raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries)
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or 20x20 cm).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and granulated sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter, and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Stir the rolled oats into the crumble mixture and set aside.

Step 4

In another large bowl, toss the apple slices and berries with the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the fruit mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit, ensuring it covers the fruit completely.

Step 7

Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, custard, or a drizzle of heavy cream, if desired.
