Easy Apple Teacake

[ViolinCuddles]

I just made this for afternoon tea and it was scrumptious! Thank you!

I'm going to make into muffins to take to our preschool brunch tomorrow  . I also used our apple slinkie , and used 3 large-ish apples to up the fruit content .

I'm so glad you enjoyed it.  Apple slinkies are great - I love mine!

After reading this today, we made this after we put the kids to bed.  So quick (especially when DH does he apples while I did the batter).  Yummy, yummy !  It reminds me of muffins I used to buy at a bakery near where I worked.  They were huge and the cake part had chopped apple in the bottom and then the top had something a bit like apple crumble topping on top, if was a kind of crunchy.  My DH (who never raves often) loved this.  Will definately make again ! 
Thanks so much.

This is lovely!  Used apple slinky and cut it in half.  One apple is enough to cover the whole cake.  Thanks, Chelsea.

Thanks Denzelmum.  I tend to do a fan around the tin with the apple slices (sticking them half in the mixture and almost overlapping the slices), but it would also be lovely with them spread on top too. I am going to try a apple streusel teacake tomorrow - a combination of this recipe and another one.

I must agree with you it does look awesome, and I will definitely have a go

Loved it!   I also tried it with chopping the apples first and add a tiny bit of lemon zest

I just made this cake but substituted the the milk with rice milk, the self raising flour with Orgran brand (wheat, gluten and soy free) Self Raising Flour (I cheated, I know  ) and the egg with Orgran's Nor-Egg and it turned out beautifully. 

I did cook it for a bit longer (approximately 10-15 minutes). 

My 'highly-allergic-to-practically-everything' son is so impressed. He can't wait to take it to Vacation-Care tomorrow so his friends can see he can eat cake like they eat.....Thank You!  The recipe was so easy and quick, I can foresee that it will become a staple in our household

lucjar, i make it GF but haven't tried subbing the butter yet, have thought about using oil - what did you use?

That's wonderful lucjar.

I used Nuttelex (Original)--sorry I forget to mention that substitution    It's made with Sunflower seeds so no nuts or dairy!

I've decided that I'm going to freeze some of it as well (might stop it disappearing too quickly - and is great for quick snacks on the go)

Last week I made a double batch of the cake mixture, swapped 100g of flour for 100g rolled oats, and made muffins - about 16 large I think.  Delicious!

I made individual cakes, using Robert Gordon's muffin papers, placed in a Texas muffin tin.



I added 1/2 tsp. cinnamon to the batter, and scooped 1 3/4 ice cream scoops of batter into each case.  Made 7
Cooked for 20 mins. on 180c.
