Today, 21 September is International Eat an Apple Day!

Did you know?

🍎 Thanks to their high levels of boron, apples can help improve your memory, mental alertness, and electrical activity of the brain.
🍏Most of the antioxidants found in apples, including quercetin, are located in the skin.

PLUS

🍎Wales has a unique heritage when it comes to apples. Apples are native to the Tien Shan mountains of Kazakhstan, and yet became widely cultivated across most of the northern hemisphere’s temperate and continental regions thousands of years ago.

🍏In Wales, the earliest direct mention of apples comes in our myths (Mabinogi) and in the laws of Hywel Dda, where an apple tree is declared to have the same value as 60 lambs or 15 pigs!

Apples, orchards and cider – these were a part of Welsh culture for centuries on end. They are present in our myths, stories, landscapes and in Welsh daily life for countless generations.

To help celebrate, here's a delicious recipe for Apple Batter Cake courtesy of Welsh food expert and Loving Welsh Food colleague Nerys Howel.

Apple batter cake
This is the ideal cake to bake if you have a surplus of eating apples in the garden! You need a fairly sweet apple such as Cox, Braeburn or Golden Pipin although you can increase the amount of sugar if the apples are tart. Serve for breakfast, tea or as a dessert with crème fraiche or cream.

Ingredients
50g Self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
2 tbsp sugar
3 eggs
100ml milk
20g melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
8-10 eating apples

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/!80Fan/Gas 6 and grease and line a 25cm x 15cm loaf tin
2. Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and mix in the sugar.
3. Whisk the eggs then pour over the milk, butter and vanilla essence then add the flour mixture and mix until combined.
4. Peel and core the apples, then slice thinly or on a mandolin and layer them in the tin.
5. Pour over the batter and bake for 40-50 minutes until cooked through and golden brown.
6. Remove and leave to cool and dust with icing sugar before serving.
