Ingredients

250 grams self raising flour
175 grams butter
125 grams light brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

In a large bowl, rub together the flour, sugar and butter as though you were making pastry. Stop once the mix resembles breadcrumbs.
Put 4 tbsp of the mix into a separate bowl, add in the oats and pop into the fridge until step 9.
Pre-heat the oven to 180C (gas mark 4) - see note 1.
Grate the apples (including the peel but stop when you get to the core) into the bowl along with the spices.
Add 2/3rds of the blackberries to the mix (cutting them in half if they are quite large).
Mix to make sure all the fruit is well combined.
Add in the beaten egg and mix until well combined.
Place a loaf liner into your tin and spoon in the mixture.
Spoon over the remaining blackberries and the oaty crumble mix.
Cook in the centre of the oven for 1 hour 15 minutes or until the topping is golden and a skewer comes out clean (ignoring any blackberry juice).
Leave to cool in the tin for half an hour before turning out.

Notes

Note 1: try to avoid pre-heating the oven while you are rubbing the fat, flour and sugar mix. It's good to make sure your hands, bowl and the butter are all as cold as possible during this process.
