Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 rounded cup sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 75 grams butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 cups diced apples
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup soft brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 50 grams butter, melted
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan bake). Set the rack in the centre of the oven. Grease the base and sides of a 23cm square cake tin (or one of similar size) and line with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre. Into the well, put the milk, butter, egg and apple and mix gently, just until all the ingredients are combined. Transfer to the prepared tin.
- To make the topping, put the walnuts, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter into a separate bowl and use a fork to make a crumble-like mix. Scatter over the cake batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35–45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin.
