This week I asked Mary if I could take some of her windfall apples. I asked if they were cookers of eaters and she didn’t know. They looked very like Bramleys to me. I was a bit gobsmacked as it appears as bugs get into the cores so they rot quickly they always get thrown away.
Anyhow today I baked more cup cakes and August being the month for Fruit based cakes instead of Ginger (that is my plan not some perverse EU regulation) I made what my book called Queen cakes. Little fairy cakes with sultanas in. I had been plotting interesting icing ideas and so I cooked up some of Mary’s apples and made a sort of runny Buttercream by adding stewed apple, lemon and cinnamon to the icing sugar and butter. I iced quite thin in case it didn’t work but its lush. I am going to call them “Apple Queens”.
