Four Quarters Apple Cake

Nono2's Note:

This is a very easy cake to make. The four main ingredients are used with equal quantities, which is why it is called Four Quarter cake. It can be made with either apples or pears or any flavouring you like (I tried it with coffee essence once and it was fab').

Very quick to make. A nice cake to have with afternoon tea - went down well with my co workers. I used tinned apple and had to increase the cooking time of the cake slightly, but it still turned out well.
