Title: Grated apple slice
Post by: Bedlam on June 21, 2013, 12:53:19 pm
I used to make this slice years ago, delicious but a bit fiddly. Cant believe how quick and easy it is with Thermie.

Ingedients
Base
125 g butter
2 tab spoons icing sugar
11/2 cups plain flour
1/4 cup self raising flour
Filling
250gm cream cheese
1/2 cup castor sugar
2 tab spoons lemon juice
2 apples ( i have used Pink lady or granny)
1 tab spoon castor sugar extra

Grease a 25cm by 30cm swiss roll tin
 Original recipe creams butter and sugar ,stir in flour and knead until smooth. I place all inged for base in thermie and  mix speed 6ish until combined. Tends to go bread crumby . I press 2/3 into the base of tray.
Place cream cheese sugar and lemon juice into jug. Mix speed 4ish until combined. Spread over base.
Peel and 1/4 apples and grate speed 4 ( no need to wash jug) until grated. Sprinkle over cheese mix.
Sprinkle the saved 1/3  of base over apples then extra sugar on top.
Bake in mod hot oven for 10 mins  (210c) then reduce to mod for further 20 minutes.

This is from the aus womans weekly Cakes and slices printed in the 80's- one of my go back to recipe books.
The recipe says it keeps for 2 days and doesn't mention the fridge but with cream cheese I think it best to keep it refrigerated.

Cookie - love it. Next time I make it I think I'll make it in a slightly smaller tray to make it a little thicker. It is so quick, easy and tasty.

KarenH - Made this yummy slice today for my parents who are visiting.  It was very quick and easy and absolutely delicious!  I did add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the left over 1/3 of the base mixture reserved for the topping.  Also used 3 apples instead of 2, because our apples were small. I found I had to refrigerate the slice before cutting it up, because it was quite soft and crumbly and fell apart, but once cold it was easy to cut. Winner of a recipe!  Thanks Bedlam.

CC - Lovely recipe Denise. I made this last night to take to a friends house to have with coffee today. Six people gobbled it up and one took extras home to his DW. A little left for DH and DS to have for dessert tonight.

ES -  I love the combination of cooked apple and cheesecake. It also got the thumbs up from my mum.

Yes, that must have been hard - do they get to see each other?

A couple of times a week. We were doing the respie 3 nights a fortnight but it was too upsetting for the little boy twin.  He wanted to stay. The twins will be 2 in a couple of weeks.  It started to impact our relaionship with our daughters and always said our family were more important. It wasn't so much the kids as everything else.  Been a long hard road!

Bedlam that must be so difficult to see them separated after all the hard work but your family must come first. Congratulations on getting them this far and for the continued support.

This looks and sounds delicious.
Can anyone tell me if it freezes well? If so am thinking it could be a great lunchbox addition.  :)
TIA
