This apple slice recipe is quick and simple to make and tastes fantastic! Whether it’s for popping in the kids’ lunch boxes or afternoon tea with friends, this is a treat you’ll definitely keep coming back to.

There’s just something irresistible about baked apple treats. Maybe it’s the welcoming fragrance of Granny Smiths softening in the oven that keeps us coming back for more or the homely goodness of a golden-topped slice. Whatever the reason, it’s safe to say that a trusty apple slice recipe is a must for your collection. And the beauty of this particular one is that it is just so easy to put together.

Serving Ideas

As mums, we love recipes like this for school and weekend snacks, but versatile enough for almost any occasion. Plus, it even lends itself to extra additions like raspberries or plums, a good dollop of ice cream or whipped cream – even some ground ginger for a bit of zing with your afternoon cuppa.

And don’t forget a recipe like the one contributed below by one of our fabulous MoM Members is totally freezable – a massive win if you like to bake things ahead of time.

Here are some ways we love serving up an apple slice like this one:

  • Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
  • Drizzle it with a decadent caramel sauce
  • Dust it with icing sugar and top with fresh raspberries
  • Cut it into squares or bars for school/work snacks
  • Bake it in a round tin and serve it as a cake

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

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease a lamington slice tin. Toss apples with the self-raising flour and sugar in a medium bowl.
  2. 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.
  3. Bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown on top and the apples are soft.
