- 250 gm Braeburn Apples, (9oz)
- 125 ml Waitrose French Cider, (4fl ounce)
- 70 gm Unsalted butter, (2 1/2oz)
- 175 gm Dark muscovado sugar, (6oz)

Directions
- Grease and line an 18cm (7") round cake tin with baking parchment.
- Peel, core and dice the apples into 5mm ( 1/4") cubes. Cook over a low heat with the cider till slightly soft and the cider has been absorbed.
- Cream the butter and sugar till pale and fluffy, then gradually add in the Large eggs.
- Mix in the flour, mixed spice and cinnamon followed by the softened apples.
- Put the mix into the prepared tin and arrange the thinly sliced apples in a spiral over the top of the cake. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 C, 325 F, gas mark 3, for approximately 1 hour.
- If the apples brown too quickly, cover the tin loosely with foil and continue to cook till a skewer, inserted into the centre of the cake, comes out clean.
- Leave the cake to cold in the tin for fifteen min, then turn out onto a wire rack. When the cake has cooled brush the whole cake with warm apricot jam.
- Variation:Make a thin icing by mixing some of the remaining cider with 25g
- (1oz) of icing sugar and brush over the cake, on top of the cooled apricot jam.
- NOTES : A delicious homemade cake to serve for tea or possibly as a dessert, with cream or possibly custard. Enjoy it with tea or possibly a glass of chilled cider.
