BLACKBERRY, APPLE AND CORNFLAKE CRISP

September 26, 2020 by Lovoni | Leave a Comment

Blackberry, Apple and Cornflake Crisp is one of the easiest desserts to make. This crisp is the perfect combination of late summer and early fall. Blackberries are plentiful at the beginning of fall so I’ve used fresh berries as they hold their shape better than frozen. You can use any apple you enjoy eating – Granny Smith and gala are excellent choices but I used the new season’s Honeycrisp apples. The addition of cornflakes in the streusel-like topping adds both a nice texture and flavor.

There seems to be some conjecture about a crisp versus a crumble. I was under the assumption a crisp contains melted butter in the topping and a crumble you rub the softened butter into the flour. But, according to my latest research, the difference is oats – oats are in a crumble but not a crisp. At least in Australia and New Zealand – apparently. It doesn’t matter; call it what you may, both are old fashioned desserts that are so good with a plethora of fruit: Peach, Raspberry Nut Crumble and Lemony Blueberry Crumble.

Not only simple to make, Blackberry, Apple and Cornflake Crisp has an element of nostalgia; my nana and mum used to make apple crumble several times during the cooler Sydney months so I associate a crisp or crumble with them and my childhood. The happy parts of my childhood were usually something to do with food.

Something to consider when you’re making this recipe: if you double the topping and freeze half of it, you’ll have it on hand for another crisp later. Use a couple of cans of chopped, drained pears with a pinch of ground ginger and you’ve got yourself a quick and cozy dessert. Toodles, Lovoni xo

BLACKBERRY, APPLE AND CORNFLAKE CRISP

Crumbles and crisps are probably two of the easiest desserts you could make. This crisp is the perfect combination of late summer and early fall. Blackberries are plentiful at the beginning of fall so I’ve used fresh berries as they hold their shape. You can use any apples, Granny Smith and gala would be excellent choices but I used the new season’s Honeycrisp apples.

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric
  • 1 stick butter 4oz/113 g
  • 2 apples, peeled and sliced I used honeycrisp
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice
  • 3 cups blackberries
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch cornflour
  • Tiny pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup cornflakes
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Ice cream, cream, custard or crème fraiche, to serve – optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Lightly grease a 1 quart/1 liter shallow baking dish.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the apple and spice. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes until the apple is just cooked; remove from the heat.
  • Add the blackberries, white sugar and cornstarch and toss to combine. Tumble the mixture into the baking dish.
  • Melt the remaining stick of butter in a medium saucepan. Remove from the heat and add the flour, cornflakes, brown sugar and vanilla. Mix until well combined and the mixture looks a little like wet sand with cornflakes – I used my hands for mixing. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit, I like to create nobbly bits here and there. Bake for 35 minutes or until the topping is golden. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with ice cream, crème fraiche or whatever takes your fancy.

Finnish Mustard - move over every other mustard I’ve ever loved, this is my new favourite. The recipe is an adaptation of @tessakiros from #fallingcloudberries a cookbook I highly recommend. If a mustard can be decadent then this is it. It’s also so simple to make. 
I purged many of my cookbooks recently. I’m replacing some with cookbooks I want to cook from and will make a point of using. Beth from @oldetymemarketplace along with @downshilohroad & @myrustichouse have started a fun hashtag to encourage us to make & share recipes from our cookbooks #friendswhocookwithabook 
It’d be such fun if you joined along. I know we all have those cookbooks that sit collecting dust. Well time to use them or pitch them. Or treat yourself & buy some new ones. Finding recipes online is convenient but never the same as holding a gorgeous cookbook in your hands. 
If like me you love mustard I urge you to try this mustard recipe. It’s divine.

QUICK & EASY TIRAMISU - a quick word to anyone who QUICK & EASY TIRAMISU - a quick word to anyone who has to add whipped cream to a recipe that’s having its pic taken - never use canned cream. You know the shit in a can I’m talking about?! That stuff breaks down quickly & is total crap. You need to whip the cream yourself and, you need to stabilize it with some powdered sugar. And don’t over whip the cream. Whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream in a cold bowl until it’s starting to thicken, add about 1/3 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar, whip until soft peaks form & then you can make great swirls, dollops or pipe it & it’ll behave & stay looking good to have its pic taken. Perfect swirls & dollops = pretty pics. 

Meanwhile, here’s the recipe for this yummy & really easy to make dessert.

SWEET CHILI MISO SALMON & STIR-FRIED VEGGIES - who SWEET CHILI MISO SALMON & STIR-FRIED VEGGIES - who made new year’s resolution to go on a diet? God I’ve been on so many bloody diets. They work of course, as long as one stays on diet of choice. Kudos to those who do. As a mere mortal & coupled with my recipe testing, writing, styling & such I can’t, nor do I want to, eliminate whole food groups from my diet. I fail miserably at it. Then I beat myself up. And the vicious cycle goes around & around. My health - physical & mental & business are my main focuses this year. Diets are kicked to the curb along with negative self-talk. Enough already.  Wholesome foods, moving my body with exercise that makes me happy & I want to do is key. Who else feels the same? 
Here’s the link to this vibrant recipe. I really enjoyed it for dinner last night & last week. Serve it up with some steamed jasmine rice. So good.
