Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a one quart ovenproof dish with butter.
  • Peel and core the apples and slice thinly. Place in the prepared dish and sprinkle the turbinado sugar, nutmeg, and lemon zest over them. Add 1 tbsp. of water.

  • Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes, until the sponge mixture is golden and firm to the touch in the centre. Spring with superfine sugar and serve with custard or cream. (I prefer non fat plain yoghurt to keep the fat count down.)
