Apple-Blackberry Crumble

Apple-Blackberry Crumble

I know what you going to say… Crumble in November? YES! and why not… i know crumble is kind of a summer dish, but why not to make it in November.  Plus we are having a record-breaking summer heat wave here in San Diego last couple of days. So, today i am sharing Apple-Blackberry crumble and when the temperature will cool down, I will go back to pumpkin and winter squash! Hope you all have a nice weekend!
