Blackberry and Apple Loaf

Foraged, brambles, easy, frugal

Today I’m sharing my recipe for Blackberry and Apple Loaf!

Having picked lots of blackberries and apples recently I wanted to come up with a simple tea loaf to enjoy them in. After a couple of attempts I came up with this recipe which I’m very happy with.

On the first day of making its quite suited to having butter spread on it (if you wish) and on the second and consecutive days it becomes more of a moist cake, a little bit like Sophie Dahl’s Spelt Banana Bread.

Blackberry and Apple Loaf, sliced and buttered on a board.

This loaf is so simple to put together, all you do is mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients/fruit and make sure you don’t overwork the mixture. Using frozen blackberries helps the berries stay whole but if you only have fresh ones to hand I’m sure that would be fine too.

As this Blackberry and Apple Loaf uses foraged fruit I am entering it into Credit Crunch Munch which is run by myself and Helen  at Fuss Free Flavours and being hosted by Elizabeth’s Kitchen this month . . Next I’m entering A Kick at the Pantry Door’s Feel Good Food Challenge which is run by Victoria as the theme is apples.

    Made this loaf at the weekend. Absolutely delicious and so easy to make! I used Sunflower oil instead of olive and fresh blackberries and it was perfect. So good I am having to make another one today! Can I freeze them?
    Thank you for your recipes – they’re fantastic!

      Hi Leslie, so very glad you like my loaf, you’ve made me want to make it again now too! I have never frozen it but have frozen fruit muffins which tend to go a bit soggier once thawed, I expect from the moisture leaching out of the fruit so expect similar would happen with this loaf?

    Did this recipe with blackberries picked out of garden – loved it – so did all my friends. Next time I will get the light olive oil – I only had the normal oil at the time of making loaf. Will definitely do again !
