Instructions
- Peel and chop apples (I find that quartered and cut across the length is better than long slices).
- Pour over sugar and leave to stand while completing rest of recipe.
- Mix the dry ingredients together.
- Add dried fruit and mix in well.
- Add egg and melted butter.
- Add apple and sugar mixture.
- Stir all very thoroughly, until apple is distributed evenly through the mixture.
- Do not be tempted to add extra fluids.
- If mixture is worked together well, it should be moist enough.
- Spread evenly into a greased 20 cm flan dish.
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon and brown sugar over top.
- Topping can be left off, and flan dusted with icing sugar just before serving.
- Bake at 180 deg Celcius for 50 minutes.
