But compared to other desserts, it does have fruit which makes it better than other choices! Eat this in moderation as part of a healthy lifestyle.

 

 

Can I Use Other Fruit in Apple and Blackberry Crumble?

Experiment with different fruit combinations such as pear and raspberry or peach and blueberry for a delightful twist. 

Just pay attention to which fruits have more or less liquid to keep your crumble the perfect consistency.

Pro Tip: Try your own combination of apples in this blackberry and apple crisp recipe too. If you love granny smith apples or bramley apples, use them. I have found juicy blackberries mixed with any type of apple is always a crowd favorite.

 

 

Is a Crisp and a Crumble the Same Thing?

A crisp and a crumble are not the same thing.

While both desserts feature a fruit filling topped with a crumbly mixture, a crisp typically includes oats in the topping, whereas a crumble may or may not contain oats.

This blackberry and apple crumble recipe with oats could be a crisp, but we call it a crumble since it isn’t as crunchy as a nutty crisp topping.

 

 

If you have fresh blackberries in season, they are my favorite fruits to use to make this delicious dessert. Apple and Blackberry Crumble is a mix of flavors that are tart and sweet and juicy and balanced all at the same time.
