Laura made a late dessert and I thought I'd blog it just for some extra Saturday night fun.

Apple Blackberry Crisp

Apple Blackberry Crisp Recipe

Based on this recipe

Filling:

5 Granny Smith apples
1 pint blackberries
1 lemon (in desperation, we used a lime...it was fine)
2 tbsp butter
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
We skipped the water because it was runny enough

Directions

Soak the blackberries in a bowl of water and vinegar (3 cups water, 1/4 cup vinegar).

Peel, core and slice the apples, squeezing lime (or lemon) juice over them to keep them white until you get them all sliced.

Melt the butter and stir in all the sugar and the cinnamon until the sugar dissolves. Cook for a few minutes and then add the apples and the water. Cook until the apples are soft, stirring occasionally. Drain the blackberries and stir into the apple mixture.

Pour the hot apple mixture into a greased casserole dish.

Topping:

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup granola
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar

Directions

Mix oats, granola, flour, butter, white sugar and brown sugar together in a large bowl. Pour evenly over the apples in the casserole dish.

Bake about a half an hour in 375 degrees F oven.
