Everyone loves apple pie but apple pie isn’t the easiest thing to make and it involves a lot of work and effort if you are going to make it from scratch.
The next best thing, that's quick and easy is a tray bake. One of my favourite tray bake recipes is an apple and cinnamon recipe given to me by a friend a long time ago. Its like a bite size piece of apple pie.
Apple cinnamon tray bake
Ingredients
- 3 bramley cooking apple
- 220 grams butter, softened
- 280 grams golden caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 340 grams self-raising flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180°C
- Grease & line a square baking tray
- Peel, core & thinly slice/peel apple and set them to one side.
- Place butter, caster sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, cinnamon & baking powder into a large roomy mixing bowl & mix well until smooth.
- Spread half of the cake/pudding mixture into the prepared tin. Arrange the apples over the top of the mixture.
- Cover the layer of apple with the remaining half of the cake mixture
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown, well risen & springy to the touch.
- Leave to cool slightly for 10 minutes & then cut into bars and place on a wire rack to cool completely
- Once cooled store in an airtight tin or container.
Simple, easy and full of flavour. What could be better.
These bring back a lot of good memories and are a favourite of my team at work. If you warm them up a little bit in microwave it really is like a bite of apple pie!
Give them a try and let me know what you think.
