How to make simple apple slice
The recipe below calls for a small amount of preparation, some stove-top simmering and baking. Preparing and combining the ingredients takes less than 15 minutes and the oven does the rest of the work.
It’s really up to you what type of apples you use. Granny Smiths are always fantastic in baked goodies, but if you have some Pink Lady or Jazz lying around, they’re fine too. If you’re all out of fresh ones, you can always use tinned apple slices.
Simply core and slice your apples and then mix them with the flour and sugar. Next, mix in the melted butter and egg, bring it all together and scoop it into a lined lamington tray. Now it’s in the oven for around 40 minutes while you take a breather. And for retaining more moisture and apple goodness, a steam oven is the answer!
Ingredients (serves 16)
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 apples peeled, diced and cored
- 125 grams butter
- 1 egg
Method
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease a lamington slice tin. Toss apples with the self-raising flour and sugar in a medium bowl.
- Melt the butter in a small pan on low heat (or you could use the microwave). Let it cool slightly and add the lightly beaten egg. Pour the butter and egg into the apple mixture and mix it until well combined. Scoop it into the tin and level the top.
- Bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown on top and the apples are soft.
