Ingredients

250g digestive biscuits

175g unsalted butter

90g Silver Spoon British Caster Sugar

450g fresh blackberries

2tbsp Asda Bramley Apple Sauce

175g plain flour

75g demerara sugar

Method

1
Line a 20cm-square deep brownie tin with a long piece of baking paper – the ends should overhang the edges of the tin on both sides.
2
For the biscuit base, blitz the digestives into fine crumbs in a food processor, or put in a strong freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin.
3
Melt 100g of the butter and 40g of the caster sugar in a pan over a low heat, then add the biscuit crumbs. Stir to combine.
4
Tip the mixture into the tin then spread over the base in an even layer, pressing down with the back of a large spoon. Chill in the fridge to firm.
5
Meanwhile, make the blackberry filling. Heat the blackberries, apple sauce and remaining caster sugar in a pan, until the berries begin to soften. Take off the heat, then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, draining most of the juice – save the juice to use in another recipe.
6
Gently squash the berries with a potato masher or fork. Remove the biscuit base from the fridge and spread the berry mixture over it. Return to the fridge.
7
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
8
In a large mixing bowl, rub the flour and the remaining butter together using your fingertips. When it begins to resemble breadcrumbs, add the demerara sugar and stir to combine.
9
Remove the tin from the fridge and sprinkle the crumble topping mixture evenly over the fruit filling.
10
Bake for 25-30 mins until the crumble is golden brown at the edges.
11
Allow to cool fully in the tin, then remove carefully, using
