Got this from WA CWA book-I think. It was that long ago. It is a lovely moist cake that keeps for ages. It was a staple when we went camping in the Flinders. It also makes a large cake...freezes well. Granny Smiths work well but any cooking apple would do.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups apples, cooked (unsweetened)
2 cups sugar
8 ounces butter
16 ounces sultanas
3 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
Directions:
1. Mix the butter and sugar into the still HOT apples.
2. Stir in all the remaining ingredients.
3. Pour into a 14 x 10 greased pan. (I use a clear pyrex dish).
4. Bake for 1-1 1/2 hours 180°C
5. You can also serve this as a desert, sprinkle with icing sugar and a large dollop of cream.
6. Unsweetened canned pie apples (heated) can also be used (easier to measure the amount).
