- 1 vanilla pod
- 2 punnets blackberries
- 100g sugar

Method
- Cut plums into quarters and remove the stone.
- Cut the apples into eighths.
- Heat a large frying pan and add the butter and vanilla pod, when the butter starts to foam add in the fruit and sugar. Toss in the pan and cook for a couple of minutes. Transfer to a suitable baking dish.
For the topping
- Mix all the ingredients together until it becomes a crumb.
- Sprinkle on top of your fruit and bake in a preheated oven at 170c / gas mark 3 until golden brown.
If freezing
