Makes: 1 tart tin of 24 cm (± 8 slices)
Time: 1 hr 15 min
From: Cowberry

Ingredients

250 g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
100 g sugar
125 g cold butter, diced
1 egg
3 sour apples
150 g cowberries
2 tbsp sugar for the filling
1 tsp cinnamon

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 °C and grease a 24 cm tart tin.
Rub the flour, baking powder, sugar, butter and egg together with your fingertips to a crumbly dough.
Press two thirds of the dough into the tin as a base and prick it with a fork.
Peel the apples, cut them into thin slices and mix them with the berries, sugar and cinnamon.
Spoon the filling onto the base and crumble the rest of the dough over it.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the crumbs are golden and the filling is bubbling. Leave to cool before slicing.

Storing: 3 to 4 days in the fridge; lovely with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Slices can be frozen too.
