Apple and Blackberry Crumble Tarts

Winter is not my favorite season but you can't live a positive life with a negative mind. I have to embrace all that this cold, wet, miserable season has to offer. On the top of my list is winter desserts - not fancy complicated works of art but simple, rustic, soul warming cooking :)
I love those "warm the cockles of your heart" syrupy puddings, jam roly poly's, baked custards, dumplings and my very quick and easy Apple and Blackberry Crumble Tarts:

The tarts are loaded with those wonderful classic flavours easily achieved using staples from your pantry. There's no need to be fancy as the tarts are free forming, and I find the rustic look more appealing and warming to the soul - just like nan used to make.

Blackberries are my antioxidant of choice at the moment but these work wonderfully with raspberries or blueberries or any combination of your choice - grab whatever you have in your freezer and get baking. The pastry is beautiful and short and hidden beneath the fruit filling is a delicious nutty crumble which you are sure to love ♥

These little tarts are wonderful served warm with a sprinkling of icing sugar, ice cream and whipped cream or custard but they are just as nice cold for morning and afternoon tea.
