I've made spiced apple muffins in the past, easy to make and delish! There's a recipe here, it's not the same one I've used though, which is in my Muffins cookbook. My recipe used diced apple rather than grated, but otherwise very similar.

If you need COMFORT FOOD this is it

It says Bramleys, but if you have eaters just adjust the sugar...................it is quite 'sickly'...................BUT heaven on earth :drool::drool:




Chocolate Apple Betty
Serves 4, with cream or vanilla ice-cream

• 1kg Bramley apples, peeled and cored
• 30g butter For the crumb layer:
• 125g soft white breadcrumbs
• 100g light soft brown sugar
• 100g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
• 75g butter, melted
• 3 heaped tablespoons golden syrup

Cut the apples into large chunks, put them in a pan and toss with the butter and a couple of tablespoons of water over a moderate heat. When the apples start to soften but are still keeping their shape, tip them into a 1.5 litre baking dish.
Mix the crumbs, sugar and chocolate and cover the apples loosely with the mixture. Melt the butter with the golden syrup in a small saucepan, then pour it over the crumbs, making certain to soak them all. Bake in an oven preheated to 190°C/Gas 5 for thirty-five minutes, till the apple is soft and the crumbs are golden and crisp. [FONT=Geneva,Arial]

Some horrible little toerag pinched my wallet so I can only get money in the bank itself until the new card comes in 7-10 days. I'm on a diet that only lets me eat sweet things on the weekend. (The No-S diet, it's very OS-compatible.) So unless I bake tomorrow I'm not going to get any biccies, cakes, or nice things till 26th. :eek: I can't buy anything until Monday so I need to bake from what I've got. I had planned to make lemon and passion fruit shortcake this weekend, but now I can't because I can't buy a passionfruit. I mentally scanned through all my best recipies and can't find one I know I like that I can make and then I thought ahaaa, I have apples. What about an apple cake then...

I hit the internet and went looking for an apple cake recipie for over an hour but I could only seem to find ones with really unexpected ingredients- like dried apricots or pecans. I haven't got any. I even tried supercook where you put in what you've got in the cupboard, they still all came up with recipies with unexpected ingredients.

I need an apple cake recipie that uses stuff you'd expect. Does such a thing exist? By stuff you'd expect I mean these things (which I have):
Flour/ SR Flour/ Baking powder
Granulated sugar (got no caster sugar, but gran sugar works well enough in it's place if you don't mind grainy cake)/ brown sugar/ muscovado sugar
Eggs (6 of)
Margarine (Clover- not technically ideal but I'm hazarding a guess it'll work)/ olive oil/ sunflower oil
Lemon juice/ apples/ raisins
Cinamon/ mixed spice/ other spices
Golden syrup

What I don't have is any other nuts or dried fruit, I've eaten them all.

Can anyone help?

Miserable Hannah.

Try this;

http://www.bbc.co.uk/somerset/content/articles/2006/10/09/somerset_apple_cake_recipe.shtml

Sounds lovely and if you don't have sultana's I would leave them out - I do tend to make cakes with stuff I have in though rather than what the ingredients lists say as I am terrible for looking at a recipe, thinking it is lovely and finding I am missing something! They susally turn out fine - you could add a bit of extra apple for moistness in place of sultanas?

My little ones wanted to make a cake and I only had Bertolli in so we used it - OH said their cakes were better than mine GRRRRR!!!


Sorry about the wallet btw - that is pants :-(

Ooops - just noticed you have raisins ha ha!!

Another - has honey in it and may require a little bit of tweeking ingredients wise;

I just typed 'somerset apple cake' into google - only because I have a somerset apple cake recipe and it barely has any ingredients but is lovely - would take an age to find the recipe though :-/

I do, I have olive oil or flora sunflower oil.

Hannah_10

Also have golden syrup, would that substitute for honey?

I would try it but maybe put slightly less in as it is more gooey?

Don't forget to make notes if you do deviate from a recipe - it may be the best thing you have ever made and as I have, not be able to remember what you did :-o
