Apple, Brown Sugar & Ginger Slice

I grabbed this recipe from the Autumn Coles Magazine - it was super easy to make and smells delicious (yet to be tasted - although the kids loved the beaters!).  A great one to keep in the archive!

Ingredients
170 g Butter, at room temperature
1 cup Brown Sugar
3 Coles Brand Free Range Eggs
1 cup Self-raising Flour
1 tsp Coles Brand Ground Cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
1 Grated Lemon Zest
3 Jazz Apples, quartered, cored
1 tbsp Demerara Sugar

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C fan. Grease and line base and sides of a 19cm x 29cm slice pan.

Using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. 

Sift together flour and spices. Fold into butter mixture with lemon zest, until combined. Peel and chop 1 apple and mix into batter.

Fill prepared pan, smoothing top with a spatula. Bake for 10 mins. Remove from oven. 

Thinly slice remaining apples and arrange over batter. Sprinkle over demerara sugar. 

Bake for another 20-25 mins, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan.
