Ingredients

2 tablespoon unsalted butter

4 golden delicious apples, peeled, cored and quartered (see note)

2 tablespoon brown sugar

1 3/4 cup (275g) plain flour

3 teaspoon baking powder

pinch of salt

3/4 cup (180ml) milk

2 large eggs

1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla essence

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

thick cream, to serve

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).

2.Melt butter in a 23cm (top measurement) heavy-based, ovenproof, non-stick frypan on medium heat. Cook apple for 10 minutes or until golden brown all over. Sprinkle with brown sugar.

3.Meanwhile, sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Combine milk, eggs, caster sugar, vanilla and cardamom in another bowl; whisk until smooth. Fold into flour mixture until just combined.

4.Spoon mixture over apple in frypan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into centre comes out clean. Turn out onto a flat plate and serve hot with cream.

Golden delicious apples are best for baking. If you don’t have an ovenproof frypan, complete step 2 in a frypan, then transfer mixture to an ovenproof dish.
