Spiced Apple Cake

I have just made this and OMG my house smells devine and it tastes really good!


125g butter
2 medium apples grated with skins on
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp salt

Topping
1 ½ tbsp butter, melted
½ cup rolled oats
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 180c

Melt the butter, remove from the heat and add apples, sugar and egg. Beat well and fold in the sifted dry ingredients.

Line the bottom of a well-greased loose bottom cake tin (23cm is ideal, but use what you have.) Pour in the mixture, combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the cake.

Bake for 30-45mins until the centre springs back when pressed lightly. Test for doneness with a skewer, as different sized tins and different varieties of apples will affect the cooking time.
