450 g cooking apples
juice of half a lemon
350 g self raising flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
350 g caster sugar or golden granulated
4 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract or a touch more
225 g melted butter or block marg
a generous sprinkling of flaked almonds
Heat oven to gas 4
Peel core and chop apples squeeze lemon juice over them.
Put flour, baking powder, sugar, into large bowl.
Beat eggs together with almond extract and stir into flour.
Add melted butter/margarine.
Stir thoroughly to mix.
Spread half this mixture into a 12 x 9 greased and lined tin.
Top with apples.
Then carefully top with remaining mixture. It won't cover the apples evenly but fear not, it spreads out during baking.
Cover with almonds and bake for about 75 minutes or until a skewer comes out a clean when poked through the middle!
Allow to cool. Then cut into squares or fingers. Dust liberally with caster or icing sugar.
Enjoy as a pud with cream or ice cream or cold with a coffee or tea.
Don't tell the government.
