Ingredients
1lb / 450g cooking apples, peeled and sliced
2oz / 50g soft brown sugar
4oz / 100g butter at room temperature
4oz / 100g caster sugar
2 large eggs, beaten

Method
- Place the apples in a saucepan with the brown sugar and approximately 1 tbsp water, simmer gently until soft and arrange them in the bottom of a buttered pie dish (approx. 1 ½ pint capacity).
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and caster sugar until pale and fluffy and then beat in the eggs a little at a time.
- When all the egg is in, carefully and lightly fold in the ground almonds.
- Now spread this mixture over the apples, and even out the surface with the back of a tablespoon.
- Then bake on a high shelf in the oven for exactly 1 hour.
