Ingredients
- 40 large Bramley apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 1kg/2lb 4oz unsalted butter, softened
- 550g/1lb 4oz brown sugar
- 150ml/5fl oz golden syrup
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 700g/1lb 10oz raisins
- 20 eggs
- 1kg/2lb 4oz self-raising flour
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Grease a very large ovenproof serving dish with 125g/4oz of the butter then scatter in the apple slices. Sprinkle over 150g/5½oz of the brown sugar, the golden syrup, cinnamon and finally the raisins.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the remaining butter and sugar in a large mixer (or with a wooden spoon) until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then use a large metal spoon to gently fold in the flour.
Spoon the batter over the apples and gently even out with the back of the spoon.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden-brown and cooked through. Serve with custard.
