This wholemeal apple slice is so yummy! I used to make this with white flour but in an attempt to be healthier I tried wholemeal flour and it is just as amazing! It is a quick and super easy slice for anyone to make. I use the tin baking apples as I am lazy! However you could easily peel and cut up a few apples instead.
Ingredients
- 150g unsalted butter at room temperature
- 250g caster sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 250g Wholemeal Self Raising Flour, sifted (note I still use the extra husk that won't sift through)
- 170ml (2/3 cup) buttermilk (see below for alternative)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 400g tinned baking apple
- icing sugar (to dust)
Method
- Make the buttermilk (if required) - To do this simply measure out the milk and add 1 Tbsp lemon juice, stir to combine and leave to curdle while you get the other ingredients ready
- Preheat the oven to 180 degC fan forced
- Line a slice tin with baking paper
- Beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition
- Add half the flour and half the buttermilk in alternate batches, mixing after each addition
- Mix until smooth, then add the vanilla extract and beat until combined
- Spread a thin layer on the base of the tin. (Just under half of the mixture will do)
- Place the apples on top taking care not to overlap and to make sure the apples go all the way to the edges
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 35-40 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean. Note can add some alfoil on the top of the slice if it is getting too dark on top
- Leave in the tin for 30 minutes, then on to a wire rack to cool completely
- Sift some icing sugar on top, cut into slices and serve. Enjoy! and try not to eat it all yourself haha
