Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 20 x 30cm cake tin with baking parchment. Put the apple in a small pan with 2 tbsp water. Cook for a few mins or until the apple starts to soften.
  2. Meanwhile, make the crumble topping. Rub the butter into the flour, sugar and lemon zest until it resembles big breadcrumbs, then set aside.
  3. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until fluffy, then gradually add the egg. Tip in the flour and milk, and continue to beat until everything is combined. Incorporate the apples then spoon the mixture into the tin, smooth the surface, then dot with the raspberries. Sprinkle over the crumble topping and bake for 45 mins or until a skewer inserted comes out clean, and the topping is golden.

    Has anyone tried freezing this? Also, could I use frozen berries and if so, should I defrost them first?

    This was a very easy but really delicious cake. Nice to make something different. I used plums instead of raspberries and apple and it turned out so well. Many compliments!

    This is scrummy and although it creates quite a bit of washing up, it's well worth it. I do wish the recipes would give a little more detail on what to do once it's cooked (other than eat it!), should you cool it in the tin, turn it out etc.... I cooled mine in the tin and then cut it into squares, which worked out fine. I now plan to try some difference combinations, like blueberry and apple and peach and raspberry - yum yum!

    Delicious! Just to let Maggie know (6th October) that I freezed half of the cake. Once defrosted again at room temperature - was perfect. Heated it up to serve as a pudding with custard second time around.

    I've already rated this recipe as 5 star as it is gorgeous, but it doesn't store well as the topping turns to mush - so my advice is make it when you know you will use it all freshly made (it makes 12-16 good sized pieces!)

    Think my oven is a little too powerful, the top cooked quite quickly and then when 45 minutes was up the edges were burnt and it hasn't set properly for them to be bars, they're too crumbly. Absolutely delicious though, I used blackberries instead of raspberries, will try them again and adjust the cooking time/temp.

    This was really lovely. I made it egg free (using an whole egg replacer) and it worked beautifully. Took slightly longer to cook than the recipe said.

    I made this a few weeks ago and it was yummy. I have visitors coming tomorrow and i was thinking of substituting rhubarb for apple. Do you think this will work with the raspberries?

    Absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend. Made mine half with flour and half oats to make it more wholesome and well definitely do it again when I cook it next time. Great with custard. <3
