Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups apples, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups fresh mulberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • Optional: 1/2 cup rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples and mulberries with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, cornstarch, and salt until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the fruit mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping.
  5. Add cold cubed butter and rub into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in oats if using.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit without pressing down.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes until topping is golden brown and fruit filling is bubbling.
  8. Allow to cool for at least 20–30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
  • If topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  • Frozen mulberries can be used if thawed and drained.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven for best crisp texture.
