    Place the apple wedges in three rows on top of the frangipane and scatter the blackberries evenly across the surface. Bake in a hot oven for 30 minutes or until the frangipane has risen and is golden. If using, serve with crushed amaretti biscuits sprinkled over the top and a blob of yoghurt on the side.

    Cook's Notes
  • 5
    Frangipane is delicious made with any seasonal fruit, so replace the apples and blackberries as you like. It's a great way to use any over-ripe fruit left in your fruit bowl.

    Frangipane keeps very well in a tub outside or inside the fridge for up to five days and makes the most wonderful breakfast!
