Super Low Fat Turkish Apple Cake
"This recipe is a traditional Turkish cake that is great for morning or afternoon tea and its LOW FAT!!
You can use canned or fresh cooking apples. I find using canned apples makes the cake moister and generally stays fresh longer.
This recipe is great for vegans as it is egg-free and uses unrefined sugar."

Used to make this cake from an old recipe book but lost it. Thanks for having it here! It's so appley - but this one is stil in the oven! So in a minute I'll re-acquaint myself - the best bit is - so much apple. Have fun. Bobby. PS Can also be made with other fruit, I use wild damsons (at the moment have hedgerow apples in). -
I think I used too much apple and was too lazy to chop them up properly, so that may have affected it...but the taste was quite delicious -
Yummy, would be great with ice cream on top. I used double the walnuts and raisins, not bad, but it really is not cake, more like cobbler
