Allinson's

Is plain flour and all-purpose flour the same thing? In answer, yes and it is a staple baking ingredient in most kitchens.
We love Allinson’s Plain White Flour as it is expertly milled from British wheat. Whilst it doesn’t contain any raising agent, like Self-Raising Flour, it is often combined with baking powder or bicarbonate of soda in a recipe to create a beautiful rise in the oven.
This flour makes a whole host of bakes from scrummy scones to pretty tarts and pastries, producing a light and delicate texture. Also, a handy ingredient to have around when thickening sauces.

Baking powder

Water (or fruit juice to mix)

Apple(s) (large)

Looking to add crunch to your bake? You are going to want to try Billington’s Unrefined Demerara Sugar. Unlike regular brown sugar, which is in effect, refined white sugar lightly coated in molasses, Demerara has a natural caramel-esque flavour that has been locked in.
Due to the large grains, this sugar brings ALL the crunch to delicious bakes such as fruit crumbles and biscuits, also adding dreamy, warm caramel notes to any cup of coffee. That’s your next coffee morning sorted.

Heat oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, gas mark 4). Grease and line an 8in round cake tin.

Peel core trim, and cut the apples into quarters. Slice finely arrange on top of raw cake mix in rows.

Sprinkle top with sugar and cinnamon bake for 25-30 minutes (check after 25 minutes to ensure it isn't getting too browned). Slice into pieces and serve.

Blueberry & Hazelnut Crumble Cake

Really enjoyed this recipe. Where the juice content is missing in the recipe above, just use grated cooking apple, squeeze some of the juice out to make drier, and the cooking time needs extending to about 50mins.
