Apple and Blackberry Frangipane Recipe

This Apple and Blackberry Frangipane Recipe is an absolute favourite. The rich almond sponge has all the flavour and moistness that a flour-based sponge lacks and it’s a good carrier for tart, seasonal fruits.

Recipe notes

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.

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.
