Apple Recipe

This year we have a great crop of apples, some of which I use for cakes with breakfast.
Here is the very popular "Granny's Apple Cake" that is often on the menu at Rosquil
Ingredients
2 tbs organic butter
2 large Bramley cooking apples
2 tbs fair trade sugar
1tsp cinnamon powder

1.25 cups of fair trade caster sugar
.66 cups organic yogurt
2 cups plain flour
1tsp baking soda
.50 cups sunflower oil
3 large eggs

pre heat oven 350 f
grease 8" round cake tin

saute the pealed diced apples in butter apx 5 mins, stir in sugar & cinnamon powder set aside to cool
Whisk together yogurt & caster sugar until smooth, combine flour & baking powder, add to yogurt mix & whisk. Add the oil & whisk,then add the eggs one at a time whisking between each addition.
Stir in the apple pieces.
Pour batter into cake pan, place the tin on a baking tray, bake for 55 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean from the centre
Tastes better if eaten the day after cooking!

I know the measurements are a little odd, I first got this recipe over 25 years ago in the States
A cup should equal 240mls the oven temp 175c, now these are my conversions so check them out.
I can use all the old measurements because I brought cups & a commercial stove back in our 40ft container when we moved home! If you are ever in New York go to the Bowery it has the greatest kitchen suppliers. Daren't tell you the price because by Irish standards it was a complete bargain. I also brought back boxes that had crossed the Atlantic twice and have never been opened, all that precious stuff you can't live without now sits in the garage giving me a complete guilt trip every time I pass them by.
If you have any apples bring them to Rothe House, kilkenny on Saturday 24th Oct and get back lovely fresh apple juice. You have to bring your own clean bottles
