Apple Tart

 
As I mentioned, I am still new at this and trying to learn all the tricks, but thought I'd better show that I am still around.
It is getting a bit cooler and that generally leads to staying indoors and a bigger appetite.  Also cooler weather = comfort food.  As I also mentioned before, the way to my husband's heart is through his tummy and there is no better way to do that than with an apple dish. 
Yes apples again, but this is so quick and easy and if you have a can of pie apples in the cupboard, then you can whip it up in no time.  I found the recipe in a little recipe book which I bought from the Women's Auxcilary from our church whcih they published as a fund raising effort, back in 2000 and unfortunately it has no name to it.  I can safely say that it put a contented smile on his face...

The recipe:
3 tbsp butter
3 eggs
1 heaped tsp baking powder
1/4 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
pinch of salt
1 x tin pie apples (420g)

(Preheat oven at 180˚C)


Cream butter and sugar.  Then add eggs one at a time.  Add dry sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well.  Add the milk.  Pour into a shallow greased oven safe dish.  Drain the apples and press the apples evenly into the batter.


Bake at 180˚C for about 25 minutes.  It rises well.  While in the oven, make the following syrup in a saucepan:
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
3 tblsp butter
Simmer for a few minutes.
Puncture the baked tart with a fork and pour the hot syrup over.

Cook's note:  Reduce the sugar in the syrup if you don't want it to be too sweet.  You can serve at least 10 to 12 people.  I served it with cinnamon and cream.
