Apple Rock Cakes Recipe
But since then I have made many different types of rock cakes, and we’re always experimenting with different flavours to use up whatever we have in the kitchen. Our latest rock buns are apple rock cakes with a little cinnamon in to complement the apple flavour.
Servings 12 cakes
Ingredients
- 400 g Self raising flour
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 200 g margarine or unsalted butter at room temperature
- 150 g caster sugar although demerara sugar works quite well too and gives a nice crunch.
- 150 g apple roughly chopped
- 50 g mixed dried fruit currants/sultanas/mixed peel/glace cherries/cranberries etc
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Grease 2 baking sheets and preheat oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6
- Sift the flour and cinnamon into a large bowl. Rub in the margarine until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the sugar and dried fruit to the flour mixture.
- Crack the eggs into a measuring jug and beat lightly.
- Dollop the mixture into rocky heaps on the baking sheets leaving space between them.
- Bake for 15-20 mins in the preheated oven until golden browned. Cool on a wire rack.
