Too much cinnamon in my apple crumble
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? |

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?

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. |

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