Apply and blackberry crumble, liquid leaking onto crumble topping....

Ive made loads of Apply crumbles before and never had this issue but when I add blackberries, or indeed do a berry crumble all the liquid seeps up the edge and almost "sinks" the crumble topping. Is there something Im doing wrong here?

Let me explain my process -

chop up apples no skin into cubes
heat in a pan with demetera sugar and add blackberries
let it cool down
add to a pirex dish
add crumble on top making sure its well layered and covered
in oven for about 30 mins 180c
comes out and all the juices bubble up round the edge and even spill into the middle of the crumble, its still "crumbly" as in its not soggy and its cooked fine

That happens because blackberries give out a lot of liquid when they are cooked, but it is supposed to happen! I love it when the juice oozes out and gets all caramalised around the edges. If your crumble isn't soggy, it's not a problem!

When I do a crumble I don't cook the fruit first. I just chuck it in the dish with the sugar, put the crumble topping over it and cook in the oven. The fruit softens as it cooks.

I don't know if this might make a difference though? My mum always cooks the fruit first but I think it makes it too soggy.

I made some strawberry crumbles with a load of cheap straws this summer, and they did the same. taste good though.

If you mix some corn flour with a bit if cold water
[maybe a tablespoon of cornflour
with just enough water to make it look milky ]

then add this in with the raw fruit
it will thicken the saucy juices ----as it cooks in the oven

Cheers, taste wise it's still great. It's just presentation wise not so but it's going in a bowl so doesn't matter. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong! I've tried cooking it raw and it still happens. Cheers for all replies ill carry on as I am!
