I’m not quite sure where this recipe came from, it’s printed on a scrap of paper like it’s been cut from a magazine. Nonetheless, I recommend it to you – it’s easy peasy, and the cinnamon sugar forms a delicious syrupy crust over the apple on top.

 

 

Cinnamon apple teacake

1 1/2  cups self-raising flour
pinch salt
1/2 cup caster sugar
60 g butter
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 large granny smith
2 tspns ground cinnamon
extra 1/4 cup caster sugar

Preheat oven to moderate (180’C).
In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and extra sugar. Peel & core apples, slice thinly.

Cream butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, beat in egg. Fold in sifted flour and salt alternately with milk, and mix well. Spread mixture into a well greased 20cm cake tin; arrange the apple slices on top, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Bake for 40-45 minutes.

Perfect with a cup of tea.
