Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/gas 4. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases. Using an electric whisk, whisk together 150g butter, sugar, flour, eggs and apple sauce for 3 mins, until light.
  2. Heat the knob of butter in a frying pan, add the apples and cook over a medium/high heat for 5-6 mins, until golden. Cool slightly before adding half to the batter. Fold in, then spoon into the cases, add a few blackberries to each and press in slightly.
  3. Rub together the topping ingredients to a crumbly texture, mix with the remaining apples and scatter over the cakes. Bake for 35-40 mins, until springy to the touch. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
