Apple and Blackberry Crumble
A lot of apples are harvested every Autumn from the garden of my girlfriend’s parents. On a recent visit they kindly gave me a bag of russet apples. On the day of the crumble, I went with my very significant other and I went on an amble down the Thames. We visited Iffley Lock as usual, but in a burst of enthusiasm we made it all the way to Sandford Lock.

On the way back up north, we came about a bunch of blackberries. Bemoaning our lack of vestibule in which to deliver this treasure to my humble kitchen, we contented ourselves with carrying as much as we could by hand. Of course the promise of a delicious apple&blackberry crumble had already formed itself tantalisingly in our minds.
It was a joint effort, I was manning the peeler while my SO did did the crumble thing. Cinnamon was in there as is traditional. The recipe was something like this (but obviously with blackberries).

And here are some photos of the results. We were able to spend sometime in the garden enjoying the September sunshine along with the crumble
What a brilliant idea, blackberries are wonderful (and free!)
I like the photos ;o)
