Total time:
1 hour 15 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 large Bramley apples
- Caster sugar to taste
- 350g blackberries
- 150g softened butter
- 6-8 medium-thick slices day-old white bread, crusts removed
Method
- Peel, core and roughly chop the apples. Put in a large pan with 1 tbsp water over a low heat. Cook for 10 minutes until the apples are soft, but not collapsed. Add sugar to taste, then add the blackberries, stir, and remove from the heat.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.
- Butter the slices of bread well on one side. Use two thirds of them to line a 1 litre-capacity pie dish, placing them butter-side down and cutting to fit. Fill the dish with the blackberry and apple mix. Cut the remaining bread into rectangles and use to cover the filling, butter-side up. Sprinkle with more sugar. Bake for 45 minutes or till golden and crisp. Serve immediately with cream or custard.
