Method
Filling
Preheat oven to 190C / 170 fan. Place apples and blackberries in an oven proof skillet or dish. Mix starch with maple, lemon juice, vanilla and pinch of salt in a cup until smooth. Stir into fruit until evenly coated.
Topping
In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, coconut sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and pinch nutmeg. Add cubed salted butter, then use your fingers, or a fork to work the butter into the dry ingredients until large crumbs form. Then fold through the oats.
Assemble
Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the filling. Transfer to the oven and bake for 45 - 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crumb topping has crisped up.
Allow the crumble to cool a little (15 - 30 mins) to thicken up, then serve with vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream or yoghurt.
