Do you have a freezer full of blackberries?
If not, then ignore the blackberry & enjoy your apple crumble!<\/h2>\n

This time of year, mid-November, is hefty with apples.
Down here in sunny Somerset, the late blackberries<\/a> are only recently all gone from the bushes. If you have helpful kids around, chances are you have bags of frozen blackberries to work through.<\/p>\n

But apples<\/a>, oh goodness, there are apples everywhere: mid-season apples have been harvested, their remains are filling the larder, and most late-season apples are ready to pick all around us.<\/p>\n

A snappy-crisp, wake-me-up sharp Adams Pearmain<\/a>, or a cooking apple like Crawley Beauty, which bakes to a soft pur\u00e9e, are perfect for this, but as long as you aren’t scrumping a cider apple it will work out fine!<\/p>\n

The recipe below uses slightly less sugar than average, we love it a bit tart: add lots of thick double cream to compensate!<\/p>\n
