GRANDMA'S RECIPE - APPLE SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 180C Bake- 355F
• Cream the butter and the sugar in a food mixer until pale, approximately 4 minutes
• Add eggs and blend well, then sift the dry ingredients and combine until the dough comes away from the side of the bowl. (If you know me from this blog you know I never sift anything so up to you!)
• Gently knead into a ball and fridge in plastic wrap for 30 minutes (at least).
• Roll out half of the dough on a well floured bench into desired shape and using rolling pin to carefully transfer the dough to the prepared greased dish and gently press in - trim off excess if needed.
• Sprinkle a small amount of white sugar and cinnamon onto the dough and then spoon the apple mixture onto the base.
• Repeat with the remaining dough - roll and gently lay on top of the apple mixture then gently press down - trim the edges until they are tidy.
• Feel free to make a pretty pattern or simple marks with a fork for added effect once cooked.
• Cook for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top
• The most important aspect of cooking times for this recipe is that the bottom is cooked well - which is why I like to use a clear glass baking dish - the bottom needs to begin to brown. So if in doubt give it a few minutes longer so that it does not fall apart when you slice it.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing into squares, dust with icing sugar to serve.
• Enjoy
