A classic British dessert made with apples a sponge cake like topping.

Ingredients

Filling:

  • 16 oz Granny Smith apples (or your choice of cooking apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced)
  • 2 tsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed, preferably organic)
  • ½ tsp grated lemon rind (preferably organic)
  • ¼ cup sugar (more or less to taste)

Topping:

  • 3 oz sugar (⅓ cup plus 1 Tbsp)
  • 6 Tbsp butter (at room temperature)
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 4 oz all-purpose flour (1 cup minus 2 Tbsp)
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350º F (180º C).
  • Butter the inside of a pie dish, or similar sized baking dish.
  • Place the sliced apples in a large bowl and add the lemon juice, lemon rind, and sugar, and toss to mix evenly. Put the apples into the greased pie dish and set aside.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl so that they are evenly mixed.
  • Cream the sugar and butter (for the topping) until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg.
  • Gently fold in the flour and baking powder, until well combined, without over mixing.
  • Spread the mixture evenly over the apples. It's fine if it doesn't cover all the fruit, and it will be more like a thick mixture than a runny batter.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the sponge is firm and golden brown.
  • Enjoy with custard, preferably, or fresh cream.

Notes

  • Granny Smith apples are best for this (if in the US)
  • If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the flour.
