  • 280 gm apples diced approximately 3, 2 cups
  • 180 gram brown sugar tightly packed
  • 225 gram plain flour 1 1/2 cups
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Set the oven to 180 C /350 F. Line and grease a 20 cm cake tin
  2. Melt the butter first. Set aside
  3. Put the chopped apples into a mixing bowl, big enough to fit all of the ingredients. Add the flour baking powder and soda, sugar and spices as well as the nuts and mix up well .
  4. Break the egg into a cup and beat to break up. Pour into the bowl with the apple and flour mixture add the melted butter and the milk mix well with a spatula or spoon. Add a little more milk ( up to 2 Tablespoons ) if it seems very hard to mix. Mix quite well to make sure it is all incorporated.
  5. Spoon into the prepared cake tin and flatten with a spoon. Garnish with sliced apples painted with a little butter sprinkle with the extra nuts and a little raw sugar if you like. ( I do!).
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes . Test the middle of the cake with a skewer. It should come out clean.

Notes

  • I even glaze the top with melted caramel sauce after it comes out of the oven sometimes too.
