5 Blackberry & Apple Crumble Cakes

The apples are nicely tart, which balances the sweet blackberry filling perfectly. Each cake feels generously packed with fruit, and the butter sponge is rich without being heavy. A proper afternoon treat.

The crumble topping stayed crisp even after a day in the tin, which surprised me. Tart Bramley apple chunks cut through the sweet blackberry filling nicely, and one cake was plenty with a cup of tea. Five is a good number for a small gathering.

Bought these for a family afternoon and the crumble topping stayed crisp, which I didn't expect from a boxed cake. The butter sponge is genuinely rich, so one cake easily splits between two people. Five in a pack worked out perfectly for our group.
