Raspberry scrunch pie

Course: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp Bonne Maman Raspberry Conserve
  • 400 g ripe plums peaches or nectarines
  • 1 small orange juiced
  • 250 g chilled puff pastry
  • flour for dusting
  • 150 g Madeira cake thinly sliced
  • 50 g white marzipan coarsely grated
  • 1 small egg beaten
  • 2 tbsp golden caster sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan oven 170°C), gas mark 5.
  • Halve and stone the fruit. Cut into thick slices and put into a bowl. Stir in the conserve and orange juice.
  • Roll the pastry out thinly on a lightly floured surface to a rough circle about 25cm (10in) round. Lift onto a baking sheet (it will hang over the edge but don’t worry).
  • Lay the cake slices in an overlapping circle, roughly 18cm (7in) in diameter in the centre of the pastry. Sprinkle with the marzipan and pile the fruit mixture on top.
  • Now, bring the edges of the puff pastry up and over the fruit., folding and pinching it as you go. The pastry won’t cover all the fruit but should form a wide, roughly pleated edge.
  • Brush the pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with the sugar.
  • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until puffed and deep golden brown. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving as the fruit juices become very hot.
  • Finish with a good ready-made hot or chilled vanilla custard, ice cream or chilled single cream
