105 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed (7 tablespoons)
50 grams Demerara sugar (1/4 cup), plus more for sprinkling

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until apples are fork-tender, berries break down, and mixture turns vibrant red in color. Remove from heat and set aside to cool briefly while you prepare the crumble topping.

Add cubed butter. Use your hands to combine, rubbing the mixture between your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Aim to break up all large cubes of butter, but allow some pea-sized chunks and pieces to remain.
