Instrucciones

To make the stewed apples, peel and core the apples, then chop into small chunks. Add to a pan on a low heat along with the light brown sugar, cornflour, cinnamon and mixed spice, and stir together

Cover with a pan lid, and cook the apple for 10-15 minutes until soft. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely

To make the crumble topping, pre-heat your oven to 180C Fan/400F/Gas Mark 6, and line a baking tray with baking paper

Put the plain flour, light brown soft sugar and cinnamon into a bowl and stir together. Add the butter in small chunks and use your fingers, a fork or a pastry blender, to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles breadcrumbs

Spread it out onto a lined baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes until it is golden and feels firmer to the touch (it will firm up more as it cools). You can use a fork to break it into smaller bits. Once it's completely cool, you can store it in an airtight container until ready to use

Pre-heat the oven to 160C Fan/350F/Gas Mark 4 and grease and line a 2lb loaf tin

To make the cake, mix together the butter (or baking spread) and the light brown soft sugar, ideally using an electric mixer, until smooth and fluffy

Add the eggs and mix in well

Gently fold in the self raising flour, cinnamon and mixed spice. Pour the mixture into the tin, spread it out into an even layer

Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool fully either in the tin or on a cooling rack

Make the buttercream by mixing the butter in an electric mixer with the paddle attachment for a few minutes.. Then add the cinnamon, icing sugar and milk, and mix until smooth. If the buttercream is too stiff you can add a little more milk

Spread or pipe the buttercream all over the cake. Add the stewed apple mix over the top, then sprinkle the crumble all over the apples

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in a cool place and eat within 3 days
