This is a really good cake.  You cannot go wrong because there is so much moisture in the apples.  It is a bit of a drag to peel and core the apples – almost an excuse to buy one of those gadgets that peels andn cores the skewered apple.

200 g unsalted butter
250 g self raising flour
250 g caster sugar
50 g ground almonds (if you have them.  if not, just use 50 g more flour)
1 tsp each of baking powder, cinammon, mixed spice
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
500 g cooking apples, peeled, cored, and cut into small pieces
spash of milk or water

Beat the butter until soft and add everything else, putting the apples in last.  Add a splash of milk just to slacken the mix.  Bake in a cheesecake pan for 50-60 minutes at 170 degrees celcius.  Check when half way and if it is getting too brown, just cover it with a bit of parchment.  Eat with whipped cream.  Yum.
