Spiced Roasted Apples & Blackberries

Recipe Description

Spiced Roasted Apples & Blackberries is a quick and easy dessert that I love to make at this time of year. Near our home there is a huge collection of blackberry bushes that no-one seems to know or care about except us. Every year, we go blackberry picking with buckets. We come back with pink fingers and lips and surprisingly we usually come back with enough blackberries to make some nice desserts too!

This dish is so easy to make and only requires 5 ingredients. I start by baking the apples with the honey, cinnamon and orange. Towards the end of the cooking time I add the blackberries. The result is a perfectly spiced roasted apple with tart berries. Delicious. 

To make Spiced Roasted Apples & Blackberries, you will need the following ingredients:
