Autumn Fruit & Port Crumble
This isn’t an everyday crumble it’s the taste of autumn in a bowl! The addition of port to the fruit brings out a deeper flavour whilst the cinnamon adds warmth to the dish. It’s definitely best eaten warm out of the oven with a dollop or two of crème fraiche.
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 50g Butter
- 1kg Bramley Apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1cm slices
- 500g Blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- 200g Caster Sugar
- 300ml Port
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- 300g Deans All Butter Shortbread Biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Melt 20g of the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Cook apple, stirring, for 5-6 minutes until soft. Add berries, sugar, port and cinnamon. Cover and cook for 8 minutes until fruit gives off a lot of juice. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fruit to a 2L pie dish or six 300ml ramekins. Reduce juice in pan over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until syrupy. Pour over fruit.
- Pulse shortbread in a processor to form coarse crumbs. Add remaining butter and process to combine. Top fruit with crumbs. Bake for 35 minutes until golden.
