Main Ingredients
- 1 can of apple slices, drained (385g)
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 125g butter, melted
- 1 egg
Topping
- 2 Tbsp sugar
Optional Spices
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp allspice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake (350°F). This ensures even and efficient baking of the apple slice.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained apple slices, self-raising flour, sugar, and optional cinnamon and allspice if using. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter and add the egg. Stir the mixture thoroughly until well combined into a thick batter with apple pieces evenly dispersed.
- Prepare Baking Tray: Line a baking tray with baking paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Spread the apple mixture evenly into the tray, smoothing the top for even baking.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the top of the batter. This will create a sweet, slightly crunchy topping once baked.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes. The slice is done when it is golden brown on top and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the apple slice to cool completely in the baking tin to set. Once cooled, slice into about 16 large pieces for serving.
- Storage: Store any leftover slices in an airtight container kept in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness.
Notes
- The optional cinnamon and allspice add a warm, aromatic flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- Ensure the butter is melted but not hot when mixing to prevent cooking the egg prematurely.
- Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; start checking for doneness after 35 minutes.
- Use a lined baking tray for easy removal and cleaning.
- This recipe works well with fresh apples, but adjust sugar slightly if using tart varieties.
