- 1 large egg, beaten
- 125 g melted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, for topping

directions
- Peel and chop apples (I find that quartered and cut across the length is better than long slices).
- Pour over sugar and leave to stand while completing rest of recipe.
- Mix the dry ingredients together.
- Add dried fruit and mix in well.
- Add egg and melted butter.
- Add apple and sugar mixture.
- Stir all very thoroughly, until apple is distributed evenly through the mixture.
- Do not be tempted to add extra fluids.
- If mixture is worked together well, it should be moist enough.
- Spread evenly into a greased 20 cm flan dish.
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon and brown sugar over top.
- Topping can be left off, and flan dusted with icing sugar just before serving.
- Bake at 180 deg Celcius for 50 minutes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a part time at home Mom with two beautiful girls aged 10 and 13, who take after their mother and love to cook also. I love trying out new recipes, especially those that are light, healthy and have lots of flavour. My passion in life is to help woman grow into their potential, which I do through mentoring in my local church. For fun I enjoy reading, mosaics, gardening and having coffee with friends. My pet peeves - political correctness and blame shifting.
