APPLE AND BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE

Baking makes me feel calm and happy. It's another way for me to feel hopeful, if only for a small moment. I love chopping the fruit, and sprinkling it with sugar and cinnamon. I love mixing the topping with my hands, and the best part: smelling the house when it's in the oven. The whole thing is so warming and simple. It makes my heart sing. A lot.
