Recipe: Eleni’s Apple Cake

Peel, halve & deseed the apples, poach in a sugar syrup until just tender (you can also place them in the microwave in a buttered dish for 5 minutes on high).
Strain the liquid off before placing the apples into the base of a buttered 26cm cake tin.
Now whisk the room temperature butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Fold in the almond meal, then the lemon juice & zest.
Stir in the egg yolks one at a time until well combined.
Whisk the egg white until they achieve a soft peak then fold into the cake mixture.
Pour this mixture over the poached apples in your cake tin.
Bake at 175⁰C for 45 minutes.
Turn our and serve with Jersey Fresh Thick Cream.
