The recipe, shared on Berry\u2019s website, goes as follows:<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n

\u00bd brioche loaf<\/p>\n

175grams (6oz) butter, softened, plus extra for greasing<\/p>\n

175grams (6oz)caster sugar<\/p>\n

One tsp almond extract<\/p>\n

175grams (6oz) ground almonds<\/p>\n

Three eggs, beaten<\/p>\n

25grams (1oz) plain flour<\/p>\n

Two red dessert apples, skin on, cored and thinly sliced<\/p>\n

Two tbsp apricot jam<\/p>\n

One tbsp flaked almonds, toasted<\/p>\n

Icing sugar, for dusting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Method:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. You will need a large, shallow ovenproof dish, about 28cm (11in) in diameter. Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C \/180\u00b0C fan \/Gas six, and grease the dish with butter.<\/li>\n
  2. Slice the brioche into thin slices, about 5mm and arrange these over the base of the dish. Make sure you cover the base and fill in all the gaps, but don\u2019t overlap the slices.<\/li>\n
  3. Measure the butter and sugar into a food processor and whizz until pale and fluffy. Add the almond extract, ground almonds, eggs and flour, then whizz again until the mixture is soft and creamy and there are no lumps. Be careful not to over-process.<\/li>\n
  4. Spoon the mixture over the brioche base and spread it to the sides. Arrange the sliced apples in a neat overlapping circular pattern over the top. Bake the pudding in the oven for about 40 minutes until lightly golden all over and firm in the centre when lightly pressed.<\/li>\n
  5. Melt the hame with two tablespoons of water in a small pan. Brush over the surface and sprinkle with flaked almonds.<\/li>\n
  6. Dust the pudding with icing sugar and serve warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
