8 slices
- Serves:

ingredients
- 275 g butter
- 50 g flour
- 50 g light brown sugar
- 225 g caster sugar
- 175 g self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 medium free-range eggs, beaten
- 50 g ground almonds
- 2 small cooking apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunky slices
- 250 g blackberries (or other berries, fresh or frozen)
directions
- Step 1: Heat the oven to 180ºC. Grease and line a 23cm spring-clip cake tin. With your fingertips, rub together 50G BUTTER with the 50G FLOUR until the mix resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in the LIGHT BROWN SUGAR and set aside in the fridge.
- Step 2: Cream together 225G BUTTER, softened, with the CASTOR SUGAR in a mixer (or with a hand-held mixer) until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the EGGS, then fold in the SELF-RAISING FLOUR, ALMONDS and BAKING POWDER. Transfer to the prepared tin.
- Step 3: Arrange the APPLE SLICES on top, then scatter the BLACKBERRIES over; top with crumble mixture. Bake for 50 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave on a wire rack for 5 mins, then turn out and serve warm with custard.
- NOTE: Defrost and drain frozen berries well before adding to the cake.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of a 9 year old son who has a dairy (specifically milk proteins) & citrus food intolerance. I also have a 21 month old toddler who has a 60% chance of displaying the same allergies. This necessitated finding a site where I could find allergy free recipes. I have always read recipes for fun, so I really enjoy this site.
My family embarked on a healthy eating plan (Theresa's Slimming) and am pleased to report that we all weigh less (except the baby - that would be a problem!). I'm feeling & looking much better. At least her plan feeds the mind & body as comfort food & chocolates are part of the weekly menu. Thanks Theresa!
