Another recipe I’m afraid, seems that’s all I’m good at making time for nowadays. However, this recipe is a nice combination of italian and british tradition, pretty much a crumble that’s upside down and can be made to look good for presentation.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

Serves at least 6<\/p>\n

Topping:
\n6 Apricots
\n25g butter
\n2 tablespoons apricot jam <\/p>\n

Base:
\n100g plain flour
\n50g butter
\n50g sugar
\n50g Amaretti biscuits<\/p>\n

You’ll need a tart or cake tin with a removable base<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Method<\/h2>\n

Preheat an oven to 180C<\/p>\n

Line the base of the cake tin with greaseproof or baking parchment<\/p>\n

First make the base mixture by creaming together the butter and sugar, then rubbing through the flour to get a consistency of breadcrumbs. Use your fingers or a rolling pin or the bottom of a frying pan to reduce the Amaretti biscuits to small crumbs and stir them into the mixture.<\/p>\n

Tightly pack the mixture into the bottom of the cake tin, trying to leave as few air gaps as possible.<\/p>\n

Next slice your fruit, I used apricots because I think they go well with almonds, but bramley apples would also work well with a generous spoon of ground cinnamon. This is Italian inspired, so try to heap on the fruit generously rather than artfully arranging them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To make it look better and hold together a bit, I used two glazes. The first was melting a spoon of butter in the microwave and brushing it all over the fruit (this is where you’d add the cinnamon if using apples), then I melted a couple of tablespoons of apricot jam in the microwave and brushed that all over the fruit too.<\/p>\n

It’s now safe to leave in the fridge or freezer until you want to cook it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bake it in the oven for 40 minutes. The fruit will be done sooner but it’s nice to get a good crunchy base so that it holds together on the plate. I served it with a quinelle of creme fraiche.<\/p>\n
