A family favourite, the original magazine cutting has been in my cookbook for decades! My daughter has been the one to make this for years now, so I'm a bit out of practice, but knowing how much she likes it, I cooked one for her birthday this week. She adds the tip that she likes to add extra slices of apple arranged on top before cooking, which looks really good. I'll do that next time. :-)
A simple to make cake, this would also be wonderful with some whipped cream, yoghurt or ice cream, or with custard.
