Method

  • Wash the fruit. Core the apples and chop into cubes, about 3/4 in. Take a third of the chopped apples and simmer in a little water with the agave nectar and cinnamon.
  • Once they become soft and pulpy and can be lightly mashed with a wooden spoon to form a sauce, add the remaining apples, and soften slightly for a couple of minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the blackberries gently so as not to crush them.
  • Pour the fruit mixture into an ovenproof dish and preheat your oven to 350ºF.
  • Meanwhile, rub the vegan margarine into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs, then stir in the oats and sugar.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping onto the fruit filling and press it down lightly. Scatter a little extra sugar all over the top, then pop in the oven for about 25 minutes.
  • Serve hot with lots of vegan custard!
