Ingredients

Pastry

  • 200 g Plain or white spelt flour
  • 150 g butter cold
  • 1 Tbls caster sugar
  • 3 Tbls water ice cold

Filling

  • 2-3 dessert apples
  • 175 g blackberries
  • 2-3 Tbls caster sugar
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ½ lemon zest and juice of half
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • Granulated or demerara sugar for sprinkling on the pastry before cooking

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180Cfan.
  • In a food processor, pulse the dry ingredients, then add the butter diced into small pieces. Pulse briefly until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Now add the iced water to form a dough, pulsing gently to mix. (Don't over mix). Tip it out onto the work surface and bring it together to form a smooth dough. Wrap and pop it in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime peel and core the apples and slice finely. Wash the blackberries and place in a bowl, add the sugar, cornflour, lemon zest and juice. Stir and set to one side.
  • Once the pastry has chilled have a baking tray ready lined with parchment paper. If you’re not confident with pastry you can start rolling out the pastry on the parchment paper. Sprinkle a little flour on the surface. You're aiming for a disc shape however this is a rustic tart so it doesn’t have to be precise.
  • Once you have a disc approximately 32cm in diameter start arranging the apple slices and blackberries in the centre, leaving approximately a 6cm gap from the edge, making sure you have an even layer.
  • Now fold the edges over. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  • Bake on the centre shelf for 35-40 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm with cram or ice-cream.
