Apple Sponge
46g butter
Pre-heat the oven to 180C
Grease 6 small ramekins or 2 large ramekins or 1 litre pie dish
with cooking spray or baking paper
Sift in the flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
Cream the butter and sugar. Then beat in the egg with an electric
hand mixer.
Fold in half of the flour and baking powder. After that drop in
the other half on the flour and baking powder and fold. It should be like a
soft dropping mixture. If you hold the spoon the mixture will drop slowly.
Put about 2-3 Tblsp of the canned apple filling at the bottom of
each greased ramekins and add a dash of sugar, nutmeg or cinnamon to sweeten it
up.
Then pour the
mixture on top of apples. When pouring leave about 1cm of space at the ramekin
so the sponge can rise.
Bake for about 20- 25 mins or until its light golden brown.
Too see if they are done doe the knife test. Is where you open
the oven and get a knife, poke the knife all the way to the bottom from the
middle. If the knife comes out clean then it is done, if its got gooey mixture
on it then it is not done.
