Berry And Apple Crumble Slice

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease a 2 1/2cm deep, 11cm x 34cm (base) rectangle flan pan.

2. 2

   Combine the flour, almonds, sugar and butter in a food processor. Blitz it until the dough just comes together.

3. 3

   Reserve 1/3 of the dough for the crumble top. The other 2/3 needs to be pressed into the flan pan, using your hands, covering the base and sides. Try and keep the dough an even thickness. Watch the base edges and corners are not to thick. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until light golden. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes, while you prepare the fruit.

4. 4

   Increase the heat to 200C.

5. 5

   Place the apple slices over the warm pastry, each piece slightly overlapping the other. Use only enough apple to cover the entire base. Scatter over the berries.

6. 6

   The remaining pastry now needs to be crumbled evenly over the fruit. Scatter over the flaked almonds, gently press the almonds and crumble, so that it secures the topping to the fruit.

7. 7

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crumble top is golden. Allow to cool for a minimum of 1 hour in the pan, can stay longer.

8. 8

   Dust with icing sugar. Cut into slices while still warm or at room temperature, serve with some vanilla ice cream.

   Enjoy!
