Almost Free Pudding!

I love the start of autumn partly for the trees changing in colours but mainly because of all the free fruit.  I'm lucky that I live in an area with tonne of brambles. There's also apple trees growing wild and this year has been a bumper crop. I've stewed loads down but now my freezer is overflowing. This means one thing: time to bake!

First stop, my favourite: apple and blackberry crumble!

Here's how to make the topping. I use cups to measure ever since my mum bought me some US measuring cups for Christmas - its so much quicker than scales.

1 cup Plain flour 

3/4 cup of sugar (I used granulated as it was all I had in but demerara tastes better)

1/2 cup of margarine

Rub it all together until it resembled large breadcrumbs.

Put your pre stewed fruit in a baking dish. Sprinkle on the topping and bake for 35 mins on gas mark 5.

Enjoy!
