Ingredients
- 500g/1 lb cooking apples (quartered, peeled, cored and chopped)
- 50g/2 oz sugar
- 100g/4 oz self-raising flour
- 100g/4 oz soft tub margarine
- 100g/4 oz caster sugar
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)

Instructions

- Butter a 1 litre/2 pint ovenproof pie dish
- Mix the apples with the sugar, then spread them evenly in the prepared dish and press down well.
- Put the flour into a bowl. Add the margarine, caster sugar, eggs, almond flavouring and 1 teaspoon of milk and then beat them together with a wooden spoon (or a kitchen aid, if you have one!) for 1-2 minutes until evenly blended. Blend in the rest of the milk if needed to give it a soft dropping consistency.
- Spread the mixture over the apples and level the surface.
- Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes until the topping is firm to the touch and the apples are cooked.
- Serve hot with custard or cream.
