A seasonal treat using freshly picked blackberries and apples, but these are also great swapping the apples for pears or using different berries.<\/p>\n

I love a fruity tart and these mini blackberry and apple tarts are made with a slightly sweetened nutty pastry and topped with an almondy frangipane sponge.<\/p>\n

The cream and fondant icing on top of some of mine in the photos are totally optional as these tarts are delicious with just the frangipane sponge topping.<\/p>\n

The almond extract in the frangipane and the pastry adds a wonderful intensity of almonds, but you can leave it out if you wish. If you don\u2019t want to make the pastry you can use a good quality bought shortcrust pastry.<\/p>\n

As I have done with some of the tarts, you can camp them up by piping cream on top of them (once fully cooled down) or even spooning over a thick fondant icing*. Or a bit of both as in the photos below, which has a bit of a retro vibe.<\/p>\n

*For a simple fondant icing, mix fondant icing sugar with enough blackberry pur\u00e9e to give a thick, glossy icing. I simply press a few blackberries through a sieve and straight onto the icing sugar.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I love to eat the plain ones slightly warmed up, with pouring cream or custard but they are delicous eaten as they are at room temperature.<\/p>\n

But whether plain or iced, warmed up or at room temperature, these fruit tarts are sure to be devoured in no time!<\/p>\n
