- 60 g castor sugar
- 1 teaspoon of mixed spice
- 2 tablespoons of orange juice (optional)

Method
- STEP 1Peel the apples. Cut them in half, cut out the cores and slice them. Cook the apples till well done but not squishy.
- STEP 2Then add the raspberries, blackberries and red currants along side the spices, sugar (and orange juice) and cook until soft.
- STEP 3Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the butter and cut it into small bits with a knife. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips. Keep lifting your hands high above the bowl to let air into the mixture which makes it light. Carry on doing this until you have an even, crumbly mixture,then stir in the sugar.
- STEP 4Pour the cooked fruit into a 1 liter dish and out the mixture evenly. Spoon the crumble over the fruit in the dish. Spread it out with a fork but do not press down.
- STEP 5Bake the crumble for 30-40 min until the top has browned slightly. Serve it hot with custard or cream.
