Method

  1. Put the apples in a pan with the sugar. Cover and cook over a gentle heat until half the fruit is pulpy. Take off the heat, stir in the pears and blackberries and divide between baking dishes, or 10 ramekins or individual pie dishes.
  2. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. To make the scrumble, put the flour, butter, sugar, milk and vanilla in a food processor and pulse until it comes together in a scone-like dough. Drop clumps all over the top of the fruit, then sprinkle generously with granulated sugar. Wrap and freeze, or bake for 40-45 mins until the fruit is bubbling and scrumble golden and crisp. Delicious with vanilla ice cream or double cream.
  3. To cook from frozen: bake at 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 for 1 hour 30 mins.

    this is a gorgeous and I think incredibly versatile pudding. I used eating apples, plums and blackberries. I am sure it would be a winner with many other types of fruits too. The scrumble topping is lovely and very easy to make. thanks Good Food mag, this is definitely going to become a regular in my home. It also tastes nice cold with hot custard, and the topping doesn't become heavy.

    Made as stated but added 2 extra tbsp of milk to the dough. The result was very good so I'll be making it again.

    Delicious, I made this yesterday for Sunday lunch, enjoyed by all. Blackberries from a friends garden and apples from our garden. I left the pears out as thought they might go to mush. The topping was so easy and delicous!

    Delicious! The pears added an extra something taste-wise. A nice change from apple crumble.

    The recipe said to freeze the pudding in it's raw state after assembling it but I froze it after cooking. The quantity makes two large puds and I wanted to fill the oven up rather than put it on for one thing.
