Described by Mary B as both special and easy! Can use windfalls or even old ones from the bowl. Have made this accidentally without any butter - still tasted good!

Ingredients

225 grams of Self-raising Flour

1 level teaspoon of Baking Powder

225 grams of Caster Sugar

3 Eggs

1 capful of Almond Extract

150 grams of softened Butter

250 grams of peeled Cooking Apples

25 grams of flaked Almonds

Method

1

Preheat oven to 160C (fan 140C). Lightly grease 20cm, loose-bottomed cake tin.

2

Flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, almond extract and melted butter into mixing bowl. Mix well until blended, then beat for 1 minute. Spread half of mixture into tin.

3

Thickly slice the apples and lay on top of mixture in tin, piling most towards the centre. Using 2 dessert spoons, roughly spoon remaining mix over apples. An awkward manoeuvre but just ensure mix covers the centre well as will spread out in oven.

4

Sprinkle with flaked almonds. Bake for 75 - 90 minutes until golden and coming away from sides of tin.

Notes

Works well with just 100g butter. Serve warm with ice cream or crème fraiche as a dessert, or with morning coffee, warm and dusted with icing sugar. Best fresh but can be made the day before. Freezes.
