Ingredients

500 g eating apples, peeled and sliced
140 g light muscovado sugar
125 g butter, softened
2 eggs
125 g self-raising flour
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C, 160°C fan. Toss the apples with 30 g sugar and the cinnamon in a 1.5 litre baking dish.
Beat the butter with the remaining sugar, then beat in the eggs individually.
Fold in the flour and milk. Spoon over the apples and spread gently.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the sponge is risen and cooked through.

Slice the apples thinly so they soften beneath the sponge.
