150 g Blackcurrants (Frozen or fresh)

3 tbsp Granulated sugar
100 g Butter

3 tbsp Demerara sugar
1/8 tsp Salt

Steps:

  • Put the blackcurrants and sugar in a pan and heat gently to allow the sugar to dissolve. Stir often
  • Once the pan starts to get a little liquid in it, turn the heat to medium and cook for 5-10 minutes until the blackcurrants are soft and a definite sauce has developed
  • Take the pan off the heat and set aside
  • Put the butter into a large pan and heat to just melt it. Add the sugar, stir and set aside
  • Peel, core and chop the apples roughly
  • Add to the butter and sugar in the pan, then return to the heat and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/ 350F/ GM 4
  • In a large bowl measure out the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Stir to combine
  • Cube the butter, add to the bowl, then rub in: use your fingertips to rub the flour and butter together until it resembles breadcrumbs
  • Stir through the oats and demerara sugar
  • Tip the apples into a large baking dish
  • Spoon the blackcurrant compote evenly over the apples
  • Tip the crumble over the fruit and spread out roughly
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving

Time 1h5m

Yield Cuts into 8-10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 12

125g butter , softened, plus extra for the tin
125g caster sugar
3 large eggs , beaten
50g ground almond
100g self-raising flour
2 Discovery, Russet or Worcester apples , peeled and cored, each cut into 12 segments
100g blackberry

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Butter a 22cm round loose-bottomed cake tin and line the base with baking parchment. Beat the butter and caster sugar together in a large bowl until it is light and fluffy. Gradually pour in and beat the eggs, a little at a time, until you have used two-thirds, adding flour if it curdles. Fold in the remaining egg, the ground almonds and finally the flour, and combine everything gently.
  • Add two-thirds of the apples to the cake mixture and all the blackberries. Turn the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth it out evenly. Scatter the remaining apples over the surface of the cake. For the topping, sprinkle over the cinnamon, demerara sugar and butter. Bake for 50-55 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and scatter on the toasted hazelnuts. When the cake is cool, dust lightly with icing sugar. Serve in slices.
