Serves 10

1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Fry the apple wedges with 25g butter and 50g sugar for 5 minutes, until lightly softened. Arrange in the bottom of a lined large loaf pan and dust with cinnamon.

2 Beat the remaining butter and sugar until light and creamy, then beat in the eggs and vanilla. Fold in the flour and milk then bake for 40 minutes until a skewer can be inserted and removed cleanly. Cool briefly then invert to serve.
