Ingredients

  • 5 large granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen, do not thaw if frozen)
  • 3 -4 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 -4 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 pinch nutmeg (or to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter (no substitutes!)
  • vanilla ice cream
  • TOPPING
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 7 tablespoons oats (not instant or quick oats)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup butter (cut into small pieces, no substitutes!)

Method

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Butter a 2-quart casserole dish (or larger).
  • For the topping; in a bowl combine 3/4 cup flour plus 2 tablespoons flour, oats, both sugars and cinnamon; cut in the butter using a pastry blender (I just use my fingers!) until the mixture resembles small peas; set aside while making the fruit mixture (or refrigerate until ready to use).
  • In a large bowl; toss the apples with FRESH blueberries, both sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg (if using frozen berries then add in later).
  • Let the apple mixture sit out at room temperature for about 25 minutes.
  • Place the apple/blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish (if you are using frozen berries then add in now).
  • Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons melted butter over the fruit mixture.
  • Sprinkle the prepared topping mixture evenly over the top of the fruit mixture.
  • Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!
