One of our oldest "family" recipes that we were given by Sandra Davison, many years ago in Plymouth.
Ingredients
| 110 g | butter |
| 110 g | sugar · for the dough |
| 225 g | self raising flour |
| 1 | egg · beaten |
| 450 g | baking apple · peeled, cored and thinly sliced |
| 50 g | raisins or sultanas |
| 2 tbsp | sugar · for the fruit |
| 1 tsp | ground cinnamon |
| 1 tsp | ground ginger |
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
- Melt the butter and allow to cool a little. Add the sugar for the dough and the beaten egg and mix well. Stir in the flour to make a soft dough.
- Put half the dough in the bottom of a lined deep cake tin.
- Mix the sugar for the fruit, cinnamon, ginger & apples together and spread over the dough.
- Top with the remaining mixture
- Bake for 40-45 mins at 180°C
- Serve hot with clotted cream, or cold and sliced.
- Goes nice and crispy on the outside.
- Don’t slice the apple too thickly as it needs to cook inside the cake.
