I say cakes, but these are more of a banana bread consistency. I deliberately didn't put too much sugar in as I felt the sweetness of the apple would balance out the bites. If you are looking for more of a cake style cupcake then you will need this caramel apple cake recipe.
I am finding that baking along with Bake Off is not having the best effect on my waistline, so decided to make these spiced apple bites as healthy as I could. I cut down the sugar and used margarine instead of butter. Personally, I like having them in their own little case rather than a slice of loaf as it means I should eat less.
Spiced Apple Bites
- 4oz self raising flour
- 3 small apples, peeled and grated
- 2tsp cinnamon
- 2tsp ground ginger
- 3oz caster sugar
- 3oz margarine
- 2 medium eggs
- Pre heat the oven to 180℃
- Mix the margaine and sugar together.
- Add the flour, eggs, cinnamon and ginger.
- Peel the apples and then grate. Take out any excess water by pressing down with kitchen towel.
- Add to the rest of the mixture and stir well.
- Divide the mixture between 10 cake cases and bake until a skewer comes out clean.

These look amazing and must taste pretty good too. It was a great way to use some apples that are not at their best.
ReplyDeleteThe boys were happy to have them as an after school snack so that was good too!
