- Spoon out 175g (6oz) of this mixture and set aside for the topping. Add the egg to the rest left in the food processor and mix to a smooth but sticky dough (or use a round-bladed knife to mix it in a bowl). Press lumps of this mixture into the tin, using the back of a spoon or your hand.
- Spread the fruit over the base mixture. Stir the chopped and flaked nuts into
- the reserved topping mixture and sprinkle over the fruits. Press it down gently.
- Bake in the middle of a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6) for 35-40 minutes until golden. If it browns too much, cover with paper or foil. Cool in the tin. Cut into slices. Serve with cream, if desired.
