Aunty Joan's Apple Cake

Aunty Joan is 80 something, and a wizard in the kitchen.  After scoring some apples left over from a conference I decided to have a go at it myself.  After looking at the ingrediants I thought this is never going to work - it's too dry, but the apple makes up for it, you will see!

125 grams of melted butter (actually the recipe said 1/4 pound)
1/4 cup caster sugar

now cream the two

add 1 egg, 1 cup sr flour.

You need about 3/4 cup of cooked apple that is cold

Place 1/2 mixture in bottom of 7 inch tin (18 cm - small!!)
spread the apple
top with the rest of the mixture (I flattened it out a bit because it is quite dry and to spread in over cooked apple is like trying to rake dirt over a mud puddle)

Cook in a mod oven for 30 mins
ice with lemon icing

This is so yummy, you COULD eat the lot in 1 go.
