Ingredients
1 cup (4oz) self raising (cake) flour
4oz butter
1/2 cup (4oz) castor (fine grained) sugar
1 large egg
2 level tbs cocoa powder
Filling
4 large cooking apples
1/3 cup (2oz) soft brown sugar
1 tbs rum, lemon or other flavouring
4 tbs cold water
Method
1. Peel, core and cut the apples into slices.
2. Put them in a pan with the water and rum or flavouring of choice and cook gently until they are soft but whole. Drain well and leave them to go completely cold.
3. Preheat the oven to 375 deg F (190 deg C). Grease two 7 inch square cake pans.
4. Put the butter and flour into a bowl and rub in until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Stir in the cocoa powder and castor sugar.
5. Beat the egg and stir into the mixture until it is well combined and holding together. Divide it equally into two pieces of dough.
6. Roll out each piece of dough so that they fit the 7 inch cake pans. Put each piece into a cake tin and bake for about 15 minutes until they are just half cooked.
7. Remove from the over and spread the cooked apples over one piece of dough without removing it from the pan. Carefully remove the other half cooked dough from the pan (pans with removeable bottoms are best for this) and place on top of the apple.
8. Bake for about another 15 minutes until the dough is fully cooked.
9. Leave it in the pan to cool then cut into slices.
10. Sieve icing (confectioners) sugar over the tops to serve.
