Apple and cinnamon tray bake

With a few apples in the fruit bowl, I thought I would try a recipe that I've been wanting to bake for a while. These were initially called apple brownies, although I found that the texture is more like that of a cake than a brownie.

Cinnamon and apple are often used together and they made these cakes delicious!

I have included the recipe below as it is quite simple but definitely worth making!

Ingredients
1 cup soft margarine/ butter
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup of milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 small apples (I used braeburn)

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 C/ 350 F and grease a 9x 13 inch cake tin. (You could use smaller square tins if you don't have a tin this size.)

2. Cream the butter and sugar together, Add in the eggs one at a time mixing well, Then add the milk and vanilla to the mixture.

3. In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir together,  Put the diced apple in the mixture and mix well.  Pour the thick mixture into the prepared cake tin.

4. Bake for 40-45 minutes and check it is done by inserting a skewer in the middle of the cake.

5. While still warm cut the cake into squares and remove from the tin when cool.

6. Finally enjoy the yummy taste of these delicious cakes!
