    I use this one from Gary Rhodes - it's delish! It's like a light airy apple cake.

    12 oz cooking apples peeled cored chopped finely
    8 oz self raising flour
    pinch of salt, cinnamon and nutmeg
    4 oz butter chopped into small pieces
    4 oz soft brown sugar,plus a little more for top
    2-3 tbsp milk

    Pre heat oven to gas mark 4, grease 9 in sandwich or flapjack type tin.

    Sift flour and spices. rub in butter until fine breadcrumbs.

    Mix apples with sugar and stir into flour mix adding milk until a soft but not sticky batter is formed.

    Sprinkle on a little sugar, cook for 40-50 mins until skewer comes out clean.
