Blackberry, Apple and Lancashire Cheese Cake

Blackberry, Apple and Lancashire Cheese Cake

Lancashire cheese may seem like a strange addition, but it adds a lovely creamy texture and flavour.

Ingredients
200 g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra to grease
3 large Bramley apples, about 600g
175 g caster sugar
100 g light soft brown sugar
4 medium eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp. vanilla bean paste
300 g self-raising flour
75 g sultanas
150 g blackberries
175 g crumbly Lancashire cheese, crumbled

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Grease and line a 20.5cm square tin with baking parchment. Peel, core and roughly chop 2 of the apples.
Step 2
Using a handheld electric whisk, beat the butter, caster sugar, and 75g light brown soft sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, followed by the vanilla. Using a large metal spoon, fold through the flour. Add the chopped apples, sultanas and blackberries and fold to combine.
Step 3
Spoon ½ the mixture into the lined tin, spread to level then sprinkle over the cheese. Spoon over remaining cake mixture and spread to level. Quarter, core and thinly slice remaining apple and toss in remaining 25g light brown soft sugar. Arrange on top of cake, overlapping slices slightly.
Step 4
Bake for 1h-1hr10min, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean (cover with foil if the cake is browning too much). Cool in the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
