Ingredients
Crumbles:
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons rolled oats
- ½ cup unsalted butter very cold, (1 stick)
Filling:
- 1 ½ cups black currants
- 1 ½ cups white or red currants Note 1
- 14 oz apples about 2 medium to large ones
- 3 tablespoons clear honey or sugar, more to taste
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Crumble:
- Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and oats in a large bowl. Add the very cold, cubed butter. Mix with the hands to obtain crumbles.
- Refrigerate the topping while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Filling:
- Prepare filling: Rinse and dry the berries. Pat dry with kitchen towels and remove the stems. Place in a large baking dish (Note 2). Peel, core, and cut the apples into small cubes. Add to the berries. Add honey (or sugar) and lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.

- Let rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
If you don’t have them, replace them with other berries or with more apples. I use a large ceramic baking dish with a diameter of 28 cm/ 11 inches. A little more or less is fine.
