Ingredients
  • sugar for dusting pan
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp butter, unsalted and melted, plus more for the pan
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 McIntosh apples, peeled, cored and sliced into 8 wedges
  • 1 cup (1/2 pint) blackberries
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp butter cut into pieces
  • whipping cream, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Butter a 9" springform pan. Sprinkle, dusting with sugar and shake the pan to coat. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together melted butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, milk and eggs.
  2. Slowly fold the butter mixture into the flour mixture, stirring until blended.
  3. Spoon the batter mixture into the prepared springform pan, smooth the top evenly. Arrange the apple slices and blackberries as you wish onto the cake batter. Then press each piece of fruit gently down into the batter.
  4. Sprinkle over with the 2 tbsp brown sugar and cinnamon. Top the brown sugar by dotting the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over.
  5. Bake until top is golden and the fruit has softened, about 50-55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
* Be careful not to over-bake, mine got a little "too" brown on top. Also, I didn't require anywhere near the four apples and I would have sliced them much thinner than into 1/8's as suggested. Just eat the rest of the apples:D
