• Carefully fold in dry ingredients, alternating with apple.
• Add milk if necessary to get a thick creamy texture.
• Turn cake into the tin, and top with apple slices (i like to make this into a nice pattern).
• Combine cinnamon and sugar, and sprinkle over apple slices.
• Bake for one hour, or until cake springs back to the touch.
