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.
Step 9
Return to oven for 10-12 minutes until the meringues are just set.
Step 10
Cool in the tin for 30 minutes then place on a wire rack to finish cooling. Cut into squares and serve.
