Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Grease a roasting tin (30x20cm) with butter, dust with a little flour, then set aside. Peel, core and slice the apples into rings, then toss in a little lemon juice to stop them going brown.
  2. Tip the cream and butter into a saucepan, bring up to the boil, then set aside. Whisk the sugar with the eggs until they thicken and turn pale, about 3 mins. Whisk the buttery cream into the eggs, then fold in the flour until completely smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and arrange the apple slices over the top. Scatter over the blackberries, then sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Bake for 50 mins-1 hr until golden and beginning to pull away from the sides of the tin. Leave to cool in the tin and serve cut into squares.

    This tasted lovely, the only thing I would change would be to put the blackberries on first not last, they got cooked a bit too well as they were sat on top of the pudding and dried out a little. I reduced the sugar too, 200g was plenty as the fruit is already sweet. Will definitely do again.

    This was really lovely...although I too would put the blackberries on first when I make it again. One thing it must be 8 HUGE portions, I made mine in two 20cm square tins and made 18 portions!

    Does anyone know if you can freeze this? 18 portions sounds a bit much for just me! Thanx

    This was good but it didn't know whether to be a cake or a pudding! IWe ate it on its own but I think it would be nice with ice cream or cream (but this adds even more calories!). I used half the amount of apples listed.
