|
Some of these recipes look a tad complicated. The recipe that I use is basically pudding mix with chopped up bramley in it:
12oz SR flour
6 oz marg or butter,
6 oz sugar,
18oz apple (peeled, cored and roughly chopped)
bung the dry stuff in a bowl, rub together until breadcrumb consistency, mix in apple, add just enough milk to make a sticky dough. Put dough in a bread tin, gas 4 (180C) for 50 odd minutes.
When cooled a bit, tip out and eat.
(smaller quantities mean that there isn't enough left over to share, I have found.)
Edited to add, apple weight is after peeling etc - we're talking free food!) |

Thanks - I'm spoilt for choice now
I'll give one of these a try in the next day or so and let you know how it goes. |

Just to add another choice:
500g Self raising flour
375g sugar (Caster and soft brown mixed)
1tsp ground cinnamon
1/2tsp bicarb
Pinch salt
100ml orange juice
250g sunflower oil
3 large eggs
625g apples, weighed after chopping
Demerara sugar
Grease sides and line base of large tin (tray bake type, mine is 9x13x2 inches). Oven to 190C.
Mix together dry ingredients in a big bowl.
Peel and core cooking apples. Chop to about 1cm cubes, and mix with orange juice to stop them browning.
Make a well in flour mixture, and add eggs, oil and juice drained off apples. Stir until flour almost mixed in, then add apples. It should be fairly stiff but still soft enough to spread into the tin.
Put into tin and level off, sprinkle with demerara sugar.
Bake for 30 mins, reduce heat to 150 C and cook until done (centre not too sticky, but apples will stay wettish, about 20 mins more in my oven.) Cool in the tin for a bit if there is time,before turning onto a rack, then reversing so it is right side up.
I do this because I'm lazy, and there is no creaming or rubbing in involved, but it does work. It makes good muffins too, probably because it was a muffin recipe to start with before I decided it was easier to use one big tin. |
