I had a moment and too much went in. So I tried to add a little more sugar than I normally use and added some blackberries to try and balance it a little.
What can I add to it to balance the flavours next time please?

Surely next time just don't add as much cinnamon?

when I do the apples I do it in a job lot. So right now ready for the freezer is a lot of cooked apple ready for hopefully fixing before I crumble and cook it.
Sorry wasn't clear in my post it seems

I would think adding more apples is the safest way - and maybe a squirt of lemon juice to take the edge off the cinnamon a bit.

Maybe I'm the only one that just likes apples in my apple pie (I mean no spices - not sugar and lemon juice). Sometimes you don't get the taste of the fruit through, with too many extras.

Can you not just prepare some more apples - this time with no cinnamon - and mix the two batches together?

Or just layer the stewed apple with sliced raw apple in the dish. The extra apples should cook in the time it takes the crumble to bake.

Was it nice still? Unless you'd used excessive (as in 1/6th of a tub for example), I can't see being too much cinnamon a problem.

I personally wouldn't have added any more sugar as would have emphasized what you were trying to disguise (and like mine a bit tart). Next time add some fresh lemon juice to counteract.

It was nice yes, but I over did the blackberry amount more than too much cinnamon.
So I have a batch ready for making into another crumble or pie. I shall just add extra apples to it before constructing I think.

I would only put a pinch of cinnamon in anything like that, as it is such a dominating flavour.
You don't want to kill the delicate taste of the apples.

Yes I quite agree. Things are all too often ruined by being overpowered with spices.

Sugar though is essential - bramley apples would be inedibly sour without sugar, as would something like rhubarb.
