Ingredients
| 400 g | cooking apples, finely diced |
| 125 g | mixed fruit |
| 250 g | SR flour |
| 125 g | brown sugar |
| 125 g | butter, salted |
| 1 large | egg(s) |
| 1 tsp | cinnamon |

Method
Preparation time: ca. 30 min Resting time: ca. 1 hr / Grade of difficulty: easy / Calories per portion: n/a
Line the bottom of a 8"/20 cm cake tin.
Rub butter and flour together. Add egg, sugar, cinnamon and mixed spice. As soon as mixture is smooth, stir in mixed fruit and apples.
Fill mixture into cake tin and bake for around 35 mins at 180˚C/fan 160˚C. Skewer probe might be misleading due to apples, but cake should feel sufficiently firm to the touch when pressed very lightly in the middle.

Can this cake be frozen before or after baking?
Helpful comment:
This cake can be frozen after baking and can even be defrosted in the microwave, if needs be. It looks - and tastes - very nice when sprinkled with a sugar-cinnamon mixture (light brown sugar mixed with 1/2 - 1 tsp cinnamon), though this should be done after defrosting.

This was sooooo easy to make and absolutely delicious. A great way to get rid of the glut of autumn apples. It is moist and yummy and went down a treat with the family.
Hallo Plum-Pudding Habe eine Frage ? ich lebe in California, und will den Pudding mit meine Enckeltochter backen aber ich weiss nicht ? was die mixed spices sind kannst du sie mir in e-mail schicken Thanks guenter
This recipe clearly needed extra liquid and I ened up adding about 150ml of milk to make it work. can't see how others were successful without it. Lovely cake in the end.
never needed extra liquid myself, and it is not part of the recipe, but if it works for you, that's fine :-)
Hi,would it be possible to use eating apples for this cake?
Helpful comment:
I have made this cake with every type of apple, quite often with eating apples if they were the only ones I had at home. Always turned out alright. :-)
great recipe,so easy,and tastes superb,great way to use up apples that are maybe past their best.
Really easy to make. Nice and moist, I made with little raisins. Next time will try with 50% whole wheat flour, some walnuts and white choc chips (my trade mark)
This is a fab and easy to make apple cake recipe.
I made up a double mixture as I had lots of apples to use up and used raisins rather than mixed fruit! The mixture itself didn't look like cake mixture before being baked but came out perfect.
I cooked it in a couple of loaf tins and one normal 8 inch round tin - and the loafs turned out heaps better than the cake tin!

Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't you add some lemon juice in the mixture?
