Method

Roll out the pastry and cut a circle about 30cm (12in) round. Place on a baking sheet.
Mix the apples and blackberries with the lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Spoon into the centre of the pastry circle.
Bring up the edges of the pastry around the fruit, but don't cover it completely. Brush the outside of the pastry with beaten egg and press sugar all over it.
Bake at 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6) for 30-40 mins until golden brown and the fruit is cooked. Serve with lots of cream.
