Ingredients:
225g cooking apples (peeled, cored and chopped any size)
juice of half a lemon
225g plain flour
7.5ml baking powder
115g butter
165g sugar - I've used caster, soft light or dark brown - all good
1 beaten egg
30-45ml milk
2.5ml ground cinnamon
Method:
1 - Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease and line an 18cm round cake tin.
2 - Toss the apple with the lemon juice and set aside. Sift flour and baking powder then rub in butter until it resembles breadcrumbs (Useful hint - can be mixed in the food processor)
3 - Stir in 115g of the brown sugar (keeping 50g aside), the apple and egg and mix well adding enough milk to form a soft dropping consistency.
4 - Transfer batter to tin. Mix the remaining 50g sugar with cinnamon - sprinkle this over the cake mixture. Bake for 45- 50 mins until golden. Leave to cool for 10 mins in the tin before transferring to wire rack and your mouth.
