Recipe
Ingredients
- 150g butter
- 100g sugar
- 175g self-raising flour
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup sultanas
- Cinnamon
- 3 apples
- 1 lemon
Method
- Peel apples into quarters; you may wish to go thinner or splice the tops of the larger pieces. Grate lemon rind and put aside. Juice lemon and place sliced apples in juice, sprinkled with cinnamon and a teaspoon of sugar. With butter at room temperature, mash with sugar and rind using a wooden spoon or mixer, adding one egg at a time. With a spoon, sift and mix in flour and add sultanas (or cranberries if you wish). Spread into greased 20cm springform pan. Arrange soaked apples neatly on top and sprinkle more cinnamon. Bake for 1 hour in a moderate oven.
- When cooled, remove from the pan. For a sweet addition, spread a thin layer of your favourite jam on top of the cake while still warm. Serve as is, or with cream or ice cream.
