There are numerous versions of these online under the names of cookies, biscuits and scones so I am calling them bakes. I can't credit anyone as I don't know who the original author is:(
Beat 2 eggs with 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar and 100g of soft butter or margarine
In a bowl, mix 320g Plain Flour with 14g baking powder and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon if desired.
Add half the flour mixture to the eggs and mix well. Then add the other half. This will be quite hard to do as it has to be a stiff mixture. Do not be tempted to add more liquid, the apples provide the rest!
Mix in 2 medium peeled, sliced then roughly chopped eating apples. I needed to do this with my hands.
Line a flat sheet tray with parchment paper and dollop on 9 blobs of the mixture. 9 blobs will make quite large bakes. Flatten slightly.
Bake at 180C for about 18 - 20 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove off the tray and place on a cooling rack. If desired sprinkle on some icing sugar through a sieve.
In my air fryer, I baked a few at a time on 180C and managed to get 13. They also only took 12 minutes or so.
They look and sound a bit like the rock cakes my Mum used to make regularly. She didn't put apple in though, but I'm sure that would be a lovely addition.
ReplyDeleteThey are similar but a little different. I don’t think Rock cakes are so hard to mix together.
DeleteGreat to have found you again.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteA very interesting recipe.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Softer on the outside today but still lovely.
DeleteThey look so, so delicious. xx
ReplyDeleteThey are!
DeleteI've made scones using apple sauce, but I've never come across this recipe and method for your bakes using apple chunks. They look lovely.
ReplyDeleteI would normally make scones but fancied giving these a try. Reckon pear would work as well.
