    Place the apple wedges in three rows on top of the frangipane and scatter the blackberries evenly across the surface.

    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.
  • 6
    Frangipane keeps very well in a tub outside or inside the fridge for up to five days and makes the most wonderful breakfast!

    Live yoghurt contains good bacteria, which are great for gut health. It’s delicious used as an alternative to cream on desserts.
