Description

Oven 180C, gas mark 4, aga- bottom shelf of top oven with metal shelf to reduce heat!

This is my prize winning apple cake recipe from Symondsbury Annual Apple Day for the best apple cake using English apples preferably local. The secret is to deliver the cake hot from the aga, that’s if you get onto plate in one piece!

Ingredients

4oz/110g sugar
4oz/110g butter
8oz/115g SR Flour
2½fl.oz/60ml milk
1 egg, beaten
12oz/340g apples
1oz/30g demerara sugar for sprinkling

Method

Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Mix in the sugar and chopped apples. Mix egg and milk and stir into the apple mixture and pour into a greased 9” circular tin as it cooks easier if not too deep.
Sprinkle with demerara sugar and bake for 35-45 minutes.
