I just popped one of these in the oven and so I thought I’d write the recipe up while I still have the luscious smells wafting up from the kitchen and before I need to run downstairs and make custard for the girls.
The blackberries are just about from the allotment. My new allotment neighbour has decided to pull up all the bramble on his side and instead plant some mulberry bushes. So we grabbed what was left before he burned the lot. I’m a little sad as I loved my protective bramble border. But he means well and hopefully he’ll share the mulberries when they fruit!
This really is a lovely autumnal tart which is well worth the effort of making pastry. If you are a runner then see my post on a pastry making running schedule! It fits incredibly well and is my little post run treat. I’m running for a marathon you see and not to lose weight.
Instead of blackberries you could use sloe berries, apples, apricots, plums, or a combination or whatever you fancy. Just make up the weight noted in the recipe so you have the right balance of fruit and crumble topping!

To make it
This looks absolutely lovely. I don’t eat dessert very often, but a crumble can always win me over, especially at this time of year!
Indeed. are you a custard person or an ice cream person with crumble?
Mulberries are absolutely divine! I can see why he’d change… Hope you get a share though! Yum!
Thanks! Can’t remember ever eating them so I’m looking forward to it
Blackberry crumble in a tart. What a marvellous idea and it looks glorious!
Thank you. I’m on a roll with pastry making!
Crumble tarts really are the business… and my vote is for custard…. mmmmmmmmmm.
My daughter would agree with you there Katie. But it has to be Birds for her which I cannot stand!
This looks so homely and gorgeous, Urvashi. We were out walking on Sunday and I kept stopping to pick the last of the brambles up here. I have made plenty of little treats with the the wild berries this year but will pin this to try next year. I’m sad that your bramble hedge is gone but hopeful the mulberries will make up for it when they come. Oh, and good luck with your training! You deserve and extra large spoon of it. With cream 😉
Thank you Kellie. I opted for Creme fraiche. The family ALL has custard!
Wow this looks yummy 🙂 x
Thank you
