Ingredients

  • 2 medium sized apples I used Pink Lady
  • 200 g self raising/self rising flour sifted
  • 145 g salted butter melted
  • 160 g caster sugar
  • 70 g coconut
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • lemon juice optional

Sour Cream Topping

  • 250 g sour cream
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Metric - US customary

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180c and grease and line a 20cm (8") square baking tin with baking paper and set aside.
  • In a bowl combine melted butter, self raising flour, caster sugar, desiccated coconut, and vanilla. Mix well to combine (the mixture should be crumbly).
    200 g self raising/self rising flour, 145 g salted butter, 160 g caster sugar, 70 g coconut, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Press mixture evenly into the tin and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the base starts to brown at the edges.
  • Meanwhile peel, core and thinly slice apples.
    2 medium sized apples
  • Place apple slices in cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice as you slice them. This keeps them from discolouring (this step is optional - dry well on paper towel before using).
  • When cooked, take the base out of the oven and lay apple slices on top.
  • To make the sour cream topping, combine sour cream and eggs and mix until smooth then pour over apple layer.
    250 g sour cream, 2 eggs
  • Combine cinnamon and caster sugar then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the sour cream layer.
    1 teaspoon caster sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Bake for a further 15 - 20 minutes, or until sour cream layer has set.
  • Allow to cool in the tin, then place in the fridge to cool completely. Then cut into slices and serve.

Notes

  • The base mixture will be a bit crumbly when you finish mixing it, this is normal. It will compact when you press it into the tin and it gets baked.
  • Can't find self-raising flour? For every cup of plain flour (150g) add 2 teaspoon baking powder and sift together well.
  • Slice the apples as thinly as you can so they soften when they cook.
  • As I slice the apples I pop the slices into cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice - this stops them from oxidizing and going brown. This step is optional, it's more for appearance. You will need to dry the apple slices well on paper towel before they go on top of the slice.
