Really Easy Apple and Gooseberry Crumble


Celebrate gooseberry season with this easy Apple and Gooseberry Crumble recipe

Apple and Gooseberry Crumble

My mum gave me a bag of early season gooseberries the other day, lovely and tart and perfect for cooking with.

The kids and I decided to make a HUGE apple and gooseberry crumble to enjoy over the weekend, and there is plenty leftover for weekday puddings too.

I'm a custard with crumble kind of person (apart from when I have it for breakfast with Greek Yogurt!), as is my daughter, but the boys prefer theirs with clotted cream. Whichever you decide I can guarantee deliciousness!

Gooseberry Season


The gooseberry season in the UK runs from May to September, with gooseberries are at their best from late June until early August.

Early season gooseberries and bright green and tart in flavour, with later varieties often yellow or red in colour and much sweeter.

Gooseberries are high in Vitamin C, great for your immune system, and also Vitamin A, which is essential for eyesight.


Can I use frozen gooseberries in the crumble?


Yes, frozen gooseberries can be used in the crumble. Just use them as you would fresh gooseberries. There is no need to defrost them first.
