300ml thickened cream, plus extra to serve
175g unsalted butter, chopped
3 eggs
2 cups (300g) plain flour
1 cup (220g) caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced, tossed with 2 Tbsp lemon juice
300g frozen mixed berries, thawed
icing sugar, to dust
blackberry or strawberry jam to serve
Preheat oven 180c. Lightly grease and flour a 32 x 22cm baking dish. Bring cream and butter to just below boiling point in a pan over medium heat. Cool slightly.
Using electric beaters, beat eggs with sugar until thick and pale. Slowly beat in cream mixture. Sift in flour, then fold to combine with a metal spoon. Stir in vanilla, apples and berries, then pour into pan.
Bake for 40 mins or until golden and a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Dust with icing sugar, and serve with a dollop of jam and extra cream.
