Apple Cinnamon Flan image

Unless fruit cake is not to your liking, I haven't served this dish yet and not had gushing compliments for it. It is a cross between a christmas cake/christmas pudding, but is served as a slice. I make mine in a 20cm ceramic fluted flan dish. If using a metal flan dish, be careful you don't burn the bottom. Served warm with whipped cream - mouthalicious!!!!

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large firm juicy apples
1 cup caster sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 cup dates or 1 cup raisins, are nice
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 large egg, beaten
125 g melted butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar, for topping
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, extra for topping

Steps:

  • Peel and chop apples (I find that quartered and cut across the length is better than long slices).
  • Pour over sugar and leave to stand while completing rest of recipe.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together.
  • Add dried fruit and mix in well.
  • Add egg and melted butter.
  • Add apple and sugar mixture.
  • Stir all very thoroughly, until apple is distributed evenly through the mixture.
  • Do not be tempted to add extra fluids.
  • If mixture is worked together well, it should be moist enough.
  • Spread evenly into a greased 20 cm flan dish.
  • Sprinkle extra cinnamon and brown sugar over top.
  • Topping can be left off, and flan dusted with icing sugar just before serving.
  • Bake at 180 deg Celcius for 50 minutes.
