Apple Blackberry Fruit Tart Recipes

BLACKBERRY APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°. Grease a 9x13 pan with butter. Place the blackberries and apples in a large bowl and sprinkle with the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch. Stir to coat the fruit and set aside while assembling the crust and topping.
• Stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, and butter. Pour the fruit into the greased pan and sprinkle the oat mixture on top of the fruit.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until the crust has browned and the fruit mixture is bubbling. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!

QUICK BLACKBERRY APPLE TART

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. In a small pot, heat the blackberries with 2 teaspoons of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla until thick and syrupy. You can also skip this step and just use heated blackberry preserves instead. Take the sliced apples and toss with the lemon juice and zest.
• On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, roll out the puff pastry square a little bit until there are no seams.
• Spread the blackberry mixture over the pastry, leaving about an inch at the edges. Arrange the apples across the pastry, and brush with the warm honey (just pop it in the microwave for a few seconds). Dot the tart evenly with butter and bake for 18-20 minutes until the apples are tender and the pastry is golden brown.

THE FASTEST BLACKBERRY AND APPLE TART

Steps:

• Begin by sifting the flour into a bowl, then rub in the butter until it's crumbly. After that mix in the sugar, make a well in the centre and break the egg into it. Using a small palette knife mix the egg into the rest, then finish off with your hands and bring it together to soft dough. Now transfer the dough to the tin and spread it out with the palm of your hand so that it covers the base and comes halfway up the sides of the tin. Next quarter and core the apples (but leave the skins on) then cut each quarter into three slices, arranging the slices on the pastry as you go and sprinkling them with a dusting of sugar. After that spread the blackberries over the top of the apples and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Then straight into the oven with it, and bake the tart for 45 minutes, sprinkling with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar when it comes out of the oven. I like it served with icy cold crème fraiche, but Michael prefers custard. You can watch how to make Proper Custard in our Cookery School Video on this page.

BLACKBERRY & APPLE PASTIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Dust a work surface with icing sugar, then unroll the pastry and cut out 4 rounds using a small side plate as a template.
• Combine the apples, sugar and blackberries and put a small pile on each pastry circle. Dampen the edge of the pastry, then fold over to encase the fruit. Pinch and fold the pastry over along one edge to make a pasty shape. Slash each pasty 3 times, lift onto a baking sheet and bake for 20 mins or until puffed and golden. Serve with cream.

BLACKBERRY APPLE PIE

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the dough to fit a 9-in. pie plate; trim to 1 in. beyond rim of plate. Top with a thin layer of apples. In a large bowl, combine blackberries and remaining apples; sprinkle with lemon juice. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Add to fruit mixture; toss gently to coat. Spoon into crust; dot with butter., Roll out remaining dough; make a lattice crust. Trim, seal and flute edges. Beat egg with water; brush over lattice top and pie edges., Bake at 375° for 50 minutes or until filling is bubbly and apples are tender. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FARMHOUSE BLACKBERRY & APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. On a floured surface, roll out two-thirds of the pastry and use it to line a 23cm loosebottom fluted tart tin, leaving a slight overhang and keeping any pastry scraps. Chill the tart for 10 mins. Prick the base lightly with a fork, then fill with baking paper and baking beans. Place in the oven on a baking sheet for 20 mins, remove the beans and paper, then bake for 10 mins more until sandy brown and biscuity. Remove from the oven.
• Tip the apples into a large bowl and microwave on High for 3 mins. Toss in the berries, sugar, cinnamon and 2 tbsp flour with a pinch of salt and pile it into the case, saving 14 berries for later.
• Roll the remaining pastry and trimmings together into a square roughly 30 x 30cm. Cut out 8 strips of pastry about 3 x 30cm - if you cut round an average ruler the size will be perfect. Weave the strips of pastry evenly over the fruit to create a lattice pattern and push them into the edge of the tart. Trim the overhang of pastry, brush the lattice heavily with the egg, then scatter generously with more sugar. Plonk the remaining berries into the gaps, then bake for 1 hr until brown and bubbling. Leave the pie to cool for 30 mins until no longer scorching. Scatter with more sugar, slice and serve.
