1/2 pound Blackberries (picked from Hedgerow)
1 pound Apples (windfalls will do)
1/4 pound Hazel Nuts
6 ounces Whole meal Flour
4 ounces Soft Brown Sugar
4 ounces Butter
Wash and hull Blackberries. Peel, core and thickly slice Apples. Finely chop hazel nuts. Rub together flour and butter and stir in sugar (can all be put in food processor for this) stir in nuts. Butter shallow casserole dish and layer blackberries and apples (you can add a sprinkle of sugar at this stage but I add a sprig of Sweet Cicely) Top with Crumble topping and bake in 180 degrees centigrade/Gas mark 4/5 oven for 30 to 40 minutes until top is lightly browned and crisp and fruit is soft. Serve with fresh cream.
