01 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

Juice of 01 lemon

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter.

Make the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine apple slices, mixed berries, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour.

Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Prepare the Crumble Topping

In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt.

Add the cold, diced butter and rub it into the dry ingredients using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Assemble and Bake

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Brew your Perfect Tea Pairing

While the crumble bakes, prepare a pot of Basilur Winter Berries tea. Choose from options like Raspberry, Sea Buckthorn, and Barberries, or pick another blend that suits your taste.

Serve and Enjoy

Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving. Pair with a steaming cup of your chosen tea. Add a dollop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of custard for a comforting winter dessert.
