Mix the raspberries with the apple and spread evenly into the pastry case.

Cream the butter and sugar together, mix in the yolks, add almonds.

Whisk the whites until stiff and gently fold into the egg yolk mix. Spread on top of the apples.

Bake for 15 minutes at 220˚C, sprinkle the top with desiccated coconut, reduce oven temperature to 175˚C and continue baking for a further 20 minutes. The topping should be soft and not set. Serve warm with whipped cream flavoured with Amaretto liqueur.
