Blackberry, Pear and Apple Crumble

this recipe

This Blackberry, Pear and Apple Crumble makes for an ultra decadent dessert.

Not only is this dessert sweet, but the blackberries have tons of health benefits! Blackberries are packed with multiple nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin E and antioxidants, which give blackberries that gorgeous dark blue hue. The vitamin E present in blackberries helps prevent the skin from wrinkles. The vitamin C present in blackberries is responsible for the formation and strengthening of collagen structure which is the basis of connective tissue and aids in keeping the skin toned and tightened. So not only will blackberries add sweetness to your desserts, they will help keep your skin looking beautiful!

The end of summer is around the corner, but my local farmers market is still exploding with fresh berries, so I couldn’t resist. Along with pear and apple, the blackberries impart a sweet yet tangy flavor. Paired with an oatmeal crumb topping, this combination creates the perfect fruit crumble. I may even have it for breakfast!
