Scott came home the other day with some cooking apples from one of his customers, after looking through some of my recipe books I came across this one that I had written, not too sure where it came from but it was a tasty dessert. Scott took a slice cold to his work next day.
The girls enjoyed it fresh from the oven with some warm custard.
Ingredients
5 dessert apples (peeled, cored, sliced)
1 cinnamon stick
1 1/2 tbsp caster sugar
2 tbsp water or apple juice
100 g sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
130 g S/R flour
Method
1. Preheat oven to 160°C (fan forced). Grease large ovenproof dish
2. Combine apple slices, cinnamon, 1 1/2 tbsp water or apple juice in a large saucepan over a med/high heat, bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partly covered for 8 minutes or until just tender. Once cooked, drain excess liquid and remove cinnamon stick.
3. Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, beat eggs for 5-6 minutes until thick, pale and creamy, gradually add 100 g sugar beating well after each addition until sugar has dissolved, then beat in vanilla essence.
4. Sift flour over egg mixture, using a large spoon, fold until just combined, don't over mix.
5. Put hot apple slices on base of dish, then spoon sponge batter thinly over apples. Bake for 30 minutes or until sponge is golden and springs back when lightly touched.
Enjoy.
