BLACKBERRY AND APPLE LOAF

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan160C/gas4. Butter and line the bottom of a medium loaf tin (approx 1.7 litre capacity.) Put the flour, butter and sugar in a large bowl and rub together with your fingers so they look like fine buttery crumbs.
• Measure out 5 level tablspoons for the topping and tip into a small bowl adding in the cinnamon and demerara sugar. Put this to one side.
• Coarsely grate the apple (skin too) down to the cores. Beat the eggs and mix in the orange zest and grated apple. Stir the baking powder into the rubbin-in mixture in the large bowl. Quickly and lightly stir in the egg mixture until it drops lightly from the spoon. Don't over-mix.
• Finally, gently fold in just under three-quartes of the blackberries with a metal spoon, being careful not to break them up too much. Spoon the cake mixture into the tin and level off. Scatter the rest of the blackberries over the top. Now sprinkle the topping over and bake for about 1 1.2 hours, checking after about 50 minutes. If too brown, cover with foil. Test with a skewer - push it into the cake mixture, not a blackberry.
• Leave the cake in the tin for at least 30 minutes before turning out. Then leave to cool on a wire rack.

• Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Arrange apple wedges over batter, and sprinkle with blackberries. Gently press fruit into batter. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and the cinnamon, and sprinkle over fruit. Dot with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Bake until top is dark gold, apples are tender, and a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Let cool. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Beat the butter and caster sugar together in a large bowl until it is light and fluffy. Gradually pour in and beat the eggs, a little at a time, until you have used two-thirds, adding flour if it curdles. Fold in the remaining egg, the ground almonds and finally the flour, and combine everything gently.
• Add two-thirds of the apples to the cake mixture and all the blackberries. Turn the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth it out evenly. Scatter the remaining apples over the surface of the cake. For the topping, sprinkle over the cinnamon, demerara sugar and butter. Bake for 50-55 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and scatter on the toasted hazelnuts. When the cake is cool, dust lightly with icing sugar. Serve in slices.

APPLE-BLACKBERRY PIE WITH "FALL LEAVES" PATE BRISEE

Steps:

• Whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Add apples and blackberries, and toss to coat. Pour filling into prepared piecrust, and dot with butter.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in lowest position. Meanwhile, brush rim of piecrust with egg wash. Arrange dough leaves over filling, creating a spiral from the edge into the center, overlapping leaves slightly to cover pie but leaving some openings. Lightly brush tops of leaves with egg wash as you work, to help them adhere. Once filling is covered with leaves, lightly brush top of entire pie with egg wash. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Freeze for 30 minutes.
• Place pie on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crust is golden, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake pie, rotating sheet halfway through, until juices are bubbling in the center and crust is golden brown, 1 hour and 45 minutes to 1 hour and 55 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
