Ingredients:

2 apples
320g
1 tbsp lemon juice
5g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
90g
1 cup raspberries
150g
1 tbsp corn flour
16g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a round 9-inch (23 cm) cake tin with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Apples:
- Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly.
- Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice in a bowl to prevent browning.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over the apples and set aside.
3. Make the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and 1/3 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually add in the self-raising flour and all-purpose white wheat flour, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture.
- Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Assemble the Cake:
- Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared cake tin.
- Arrange half of the apple slices over the batter and top with half of the raspberries.
- Spread the remaining batter over the fruit layer.
- Arrange the remaining apple slices and raspberries on top of the batter.
5. Prepare the Crumble Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the 1 tablespoon of corn flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar together.
- Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
6. Bake the Cake:
- Place the cake tin in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the Apple and Raspberry Crumble Tea Cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Tips:

- 1. Choose firm apples, such as Granny Smith, for a nice contrast in texture and flavor.

- 2. Allow the butter to soften at room temperature before using it to ensure smooth mixing.

- 3. Toss the raspberries in cornflour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.

- 4. Use fresh lemon juice for a brighter and fresher flavor.

- 5. If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to add an extra half teaspoon.

- 6. Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.

- 7. Let the cake cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop.
