Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 2 cups peeled, chopped apples Choose sweeter varieties like Fuji or Gala.
  • 1 cup sugar Can substitute with brown sugar for added richness.
  • 1 cup self-rising flour Ensure it's fresh for the best rise.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan lightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine your peeled and chopped apples with half of the sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to marinate and release juices.
Mixing and Baking
  1. In a larger bowl, combine the remaining sugar with the self-rising flour. Gradually add the apple mixture, folding gently until well blended.
  2. Transfer the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  3. Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Notes

Consider adding chopped nuts or raisins for texture. It is also delightful with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream. This cake can be stored for 2-3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. Freeze slices for up to three months.
