    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Heat the oven to 180°C fan and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking paper. Arrange the apples and blackberries in the base of the tin.

    2 In a small bowl, combine all the crumble ingredients and rub between your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Sprinkle over the fruit and set aside.

    3 In a large bowl, beat the sponge ingredients together for 3-4 minutes until combined and light. Spread the mixture on top of the crumble, then bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

    4 Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then invert on to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Leave fruit-side up and slice into 16 to serve. The cake will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    Variations

    This cake can be made with fresh or frozen berries – thaw berries first if frozen.

    HFG tip

    Berries don’t just taste great, they add natural sweetness, antioxidants, fibre and vitamins to enhance the nutritional value of your bakes too.
