• 110g plain flour

• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon 
• 4 large apples - I used a mix of Brambly, Granny Smith and cookers
• 2 large eggs
• 150g caster sugar
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 115g butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
• 
  
• 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Grease and line a 20cm round loose-based cake tin. 
• 2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and pinch of salt. Peel and core the apples, then dice them into 3cm pieces.
• 3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy then whisk in the sugar, then add the vanilla. Whisk in half of the flour mixture, and then gently stir in half of the melted butter. Stir in the remaining flour mixture, then the rest of the butter.
• 4. Fold in the apple cubes until they’re well-coated with the batter. Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and smooth the top a little.
• 5.Bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a fine skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack. Remove the lining paper when ready to serve.
