Preparation

Step 1

Microwave the 25g blackberries and tsp sugar on high for 30 seconds. Mash until saucy and leave to cool.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease and line a 23cm square tin leaving some overhang.
Whisk the egg and two yolks briefly with a fork.

Step 3

Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until pale and creamy.
Then beat in the egg yolks and vanilla.
Fold in the flour, baking powder and salt to form a thick batter.

Step 4

Peel and slice the apple. Fold it into the thick batter, then smooth the mixture into the tin.
Scatter over the blackberries, poking them in just a little.

Step 5

Bake for 45 minutes until golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Leave the oven turned on.

Step 6

Whisk the egg whites, lemon juice and salt until stiff peaks form.
Add the sugar 1tbsp at a time, whisking well after each addition to form a shiny, stiff meringue.

Step 7

Ripple the cool blackberry mix through the meringue.
Spoon into a large piping bag with a 1cm nozzle.

Step 8

With even spacing, pipe 16 walnut sized meringues on top of the cooked traybake.
Pipe the remaining mixture onto a separate, lined baking tray to avoid wasting it.
