~Ingredients~ 170g plain flour 85g caster sugar 85g unsalted butter 1 egg yolk 900g apples, peeled, cored, roughly chopped 110g light brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 250g fresh or frozen mixed berries (redcurrants, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries) ~Topping~ 1 1/2 cups (225g) plain flour 150g unsalted butter 110g demerara sugar 2 teaspoons poppy seeds 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander ~Berry sauce~ 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar 250g mixed berries

Step 1 Preheat the oven to 200°C. Butter and line the base of a 24cm springform cake pan. Step 2 To make the base, place flour, caster sugar and butter in a food processor and whiz until you have fine crumbs. Add the egg yolk and continue processing until the mixture comes together in a smooth ball (you may need to add a little chilled water). Wrap in plastic wrap and place in fridge for 30 minutes. Step 3 When ready, press the mixture into the base of the prepared cake pan, refrigerate for a further 15 minutes, then bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

Step 4 Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 180°C. Step 5 Place the apples, light brown sugar, cinnamon and ginger in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons cold water and cover. Cook over low heat until soft. Step 6 Cool, then spread over the pastry base. Sprinkle with the mixed berries. Step 7 For the topping, process the flour, butter, demerara sugar, poppy seeds, ground cinnamon, ginger and coriander with 1 tablespoon cold water, until you have a rough crumb mixture. Spoon over the top of the berries, patting down well. Bake for 25-30 minutes, then cool in the pan.

Step 8 For the berry sauce, place the caster sugar in a saucepan with 1/4 cup (60ml) of water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the mixed berries and cook for 2 minutes, breaking the berries up with a spoon. Step 9 Allow to cool, then puree in a blender. Step 10 If you prefer a smooth sauce, pass it through a sieve. Step 11 To serve, cut the crumble cake into slices and drizzle with berry sauce and cinnamon custard (see related recipe).
