Blackberry & Apple Crostata

This is an amazingly easy and delicious pie, based on my grandmother's recipe for crostata.



200g Whole Unskinned Almonds
200g Plain Flour
200g Butter
150g Sugar
500g Blackberries

Pre-heat oven to 180°C: 350°F: Gas 4
Roughly process the almonds with their skins





Mix the chopped almonds, butter, flour and sugar till well blended, but not completely cohesive.




Press into a greased 10” pie tin, pushing the dough up the sides to create a thick pie-crust.




Peel, core and slice the apples then arrange on the base.



Fill with the blackberries.




Bake for 30mins – or until lightly browned.
