125ml whole milk
100g unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Preheat oven to 190C. Grease and flour a 28cm (11in) loose-bottomed round cake tin or deep dish pizza pan. Peel, core and quarter apples. Slice apple sections crosswise into very thin slivers. Beat eggs and sugar together in large bowl with wire whisk until sugar has dissolved. Sift and stir in flour, then mix in the milk, melted butter and vanilla. Blend mixture thoroughly. Quickly stir in baking powder, then fold in sliced apples. Pour mixture into the prepared tin and bake on the floor of oven for 10 min, transfer tin to center rack and bake for further 50-55 min until cake is golden brown. Turn cake out on a wire cooling rack and leave to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with sifted icing sugar.
