Ingredients (serves 6-8)

For the crumble: - 85g hard margarine (or butter if not dairy-free)

- 170g gluten-free plain flour

- 70g light brown sugar

- 3 tsps ground cinnamon

- 50g gluten-free oats (if you can’t tolerate oats these can be removed)

-40g pecan nuts, chopped (optional)

For the fruit:

-300g cooking apples (you can use other apples if you prefer)

- 30g hard margarine (or butter if not dairy-free)

- 30g light brown sugar

- 70g blackberries

- 70g raspberries (you can change the berries up if you want)

-1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Step 1: Rub together the margarine (or butter, if not dairy-free) and gluten-free plain flour. Do this until it forms a breadcrumb texture. Step 2

Step 2: Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, oats and pecans (if using). Put to one side while you tend to your fruit. Step 3S

Step 3: Peel and chop the apples. (The smaller you chop them the more of a compote texture you’ll get. You can leave them a little chunkier, but they still totally soften once cooked.) Step

Step 4: Place 30g hard margarine (or butter) and 30g sugar into a saucepan and gently melt them together. Once melted, leave on a medium heat for a couple of minutes so it starts to caramelise a little. Step

Step 5: Add the chopped apples and .1/4 tsp of cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir for 2-3 minutes before adding the berries. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes – some of the berries will start to break up a bit. St

Step 6: Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Step

Step 7: Place all your fruit and any juices in an ovenproof dish (you can use a skillet but any dish would be fine). Top with the crumble mixture evenly and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes. The top should be a little golden and the fruit all cooked. Step

Step 8: Serve with your choice of custard, ice cream or cream.
