- Sieve the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into the batter, folding it in carefully using a metal spoon. Pour batter into the cake tin.
- Core, quarter, peel (if you wish) and slice the apples and arrange over the batter.
- Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and bake for 20-25 mins until risen and golden.
