Method

  1. Make almond crumble pastry.

  4. Place tin on oven tray; bake, about 10 minutes or until browned lightly.
  5. Sprinkle raspberries over pastry base, sprinkle with remaining crumbled pastry. Bake further 20 minutes or until well browned; cool in pan.

Almond Crumble Pastry

  3. Stir in ground almonds and half the flour. Work in remaining flour using hand.
  4. Knead pastry on floured surface until smooth. Wrap pastry in plastic; refrigerate 30 minutes.
TIP: This recipe is best made on day of serving as the raspberries will soften the pastry.
