Spiced apple cake

This moist cake keeps and travels well. Invariably it comes out slightly differently each time – a tribute to nature and the difference between one apple and another. You can also cook the mixture as muffins. Both cake and muffins freeze well.
125g butter
1 cup cooked apples (about 2-3 apples) or 1 x 225g can apples
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon each nutmeg, allspice and salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sultanas
icing sugar
Preheat oven to 160 C. Melt butter in a medium-large saucepan.
Remove from heat and mix in apples and sugar. Stir to combine then stir in egg.
Sift dry ingredients and add along with sultanas to the apple mix. Stir just enough to blend ingredients evenly. Spread the mixture into a lined greased 20cm cake tin and bake for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with icing sugar when cool.
Serves 6-8
To make as muffins, divide mixture among 12 large greased muffin tins (allow 1/2 cup per muffin). Bake until risen and set, about 35 minutes. Stand for 5 minutes before turning out.
