    PInterest Pin for Mini Mason Jar Apple Blackberry Crumble

    Mini Mason jars of Apple Blackberry Crumble make ideal desserts for camping, picnics or for make-ahead freezer desserts. Apple blackberry crisp in a jar!

    Tiny Mason Jars of Apple Blackberry Crumble are filling my kitchen counters today. Some of them are already packed for the guys to take on their fishing trip. The remainder are heading for the freezer for those days when the two of us are looking for a tiny after-dinner treat.

    It's a three-generation fishing trip to the West Coast of the Island to catch the wild salmon we love so much. My hubby, son and fun-loving grandson are off to spend some quality male-bonding time bobbing in the waves. And even avid fishermen like a cute little dessert after a day on the ocean!

    Apple Blackberry Crumble, Apple Blackberry Crisp, it's always a treat, whatever you choose to call it! While apples and blackberries ripen in the late summer and early fall, they're both available in stores year-round now. This gluten-free crisp is one you can enjoy at any time of year.

    Get out your half-cup Mason Jars  or ramekins and let's make a batch of Apple Blackberry Crisp!

    Ingredients for Mason Jar Apple Blackberry Crisp

    For the filling, you'll need:

    • apples: your choice, the sweeter the better so you don't have to add much sweetener. Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, Gala, Fuji, or Ambrosia are my favourite sweet varieties.
    • lemon juice: to prevent the apples from turning brown, and also to add flavour.
    • thickener: cornstarch or tapioca starch
    • sweetener: honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, brown sugar, or 0-calorie Monkfruit sweetener. All work well.
    • spices:  cinnamon and nutmeg

    For the topping:

    • oats:  certified gluten-free if necessary
    • oat flour: grind rolled oats in a blender to make flour
    • nuts:  sliced almonds or chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
    • butter or coconut oil: melted
    • sweetener:  granulated sweetener works best here:  coconut sugar or brown sugar

    Helpful Instructions

    1. Cut the apples in small pieces so you can fit more in each jar. I peel and quarter the apples, remove the core, slice the quarters thinly, then cut the slices in half. That way I can pack more deliciousness in every jar.
    2. Fill the jars almost to the top with the apple-blackberry mixture. Divide the crumble topping evenly among the jars and overfill them with it. Once the apple mixture cooks, it will reduce down and the topping will end up even with the top of the jar, ready for you to add a lid.
    3. Place the jars on a baking sheet. The filling may bubble up and over during baking and the baking sheet will catch any drips.
    4. This Apple Blackberry Crumble is heavenly served warm with whipped cream, coconut whip or ice cream. It's equally yummy when cold.
    5. Yes! You can freeze these mini desserts. Just top with a lid and pop in the freezer for an after-dinner treat.
    6. No Mason Jars? Bake this apple blackberry crisp in a 9-inch round baking dish or a 9 x 13 baking dish.
