Because there's apples....somewhere

With all these enticing posts here, here, here and here about apples and baking (which I cannot match here), and because there's something so wholesome and just a big bit delicious about baking and eating apples....and cinnamon, don't forget their perfect partnership with cinnamon.....I needed to try out a new recipe, any new apple recipe!

This is what I came up with. A rustic creation, and not too unhealthy.

Just perfect for an indulgent bite while seed collecting in the garden.

Apple Cake

2 whole eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup low fat milk, (60ml)
60 g butter or low fat spread
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup self-raising white flour, sifted
1 1/2 tbs cornflour
1 medium apple, peeled, cored, sliced
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp raw sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease or line a 20cm cake tin. Set aside.
Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl with electric beaters, until light and fluffy. Add milk, butter and vanilla and beat well to combine.
Sift flours together in a bowl. Carefully fold flour mixture through egg and butter mixture. Pour into prepared tin.
Combine cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl. Arrange apple slices on top of cake and sprinkle with cinnamon mixture. Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes or until skewer comes out clean when inserted. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Turn out on a cake rack to cool completely. Then head outside with a slice.
