- 50 g (1.8oz) plain flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 40 g (1.4oz) soft light brown sugar
- 40 g (1.4oz) flaked almonds, crushed to a coarse crumb
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to the thickness of a 1 coin.
- Cut out 6 circles and use to line the tart tins, lightly pressing into the edges to fit.
- Trim the edges, pierce the bases a couple of times with a fork, and place in the fridge to rest for about 10 minutes.

- Once rested, put pastry cases on a baking tray and line with individual pieces of baking paper.
- Fill with baking beans or dry rice and bake in the oven for 8 minutes.
- Remove the paper and beans or rice and continue to cook the pastry cases for 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, place the apple and caster sugar in a saucepan, cover with a lid, and cook over a low-medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes or until the apple is tender and juicy.
- Stir in the raspberries and cook for just a minute or so until they start to release their juices.
- Remove from the heat.
- To make the crumble topping, rub together the butter, flour and cinnamon, until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Mix in the sugar and almonds.
- Spoon the apple and raspberries between the pastry cases then scatter the crumble over the top.
- Put in the oven and cook for 10 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the crumble is golden and crisp.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with cream, creme fraiche or ice-cream.
