Apple cinnamon teacake is a delightful and aromatic treat that perfectly blends the sweetness of apples with the warm spice of cinnamon. This recipe is simple yet delicious, making it a perfect option for a cozy afternoon snack or a delightful dessert.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a small loaf or cake pan.
2. Prepare the Apple:
- Peel, core, and finely chop the apple. Set aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and pale. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this step on medium speed.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla:
- Beat in the egg until fully incorporated, then add the vanilla extract and mix well.
5. Mix in Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the self-raising flour to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine.
6. Add Milk:
- Pour in the milk slowly while continuously mixing until you achieve a smooth batter.
7. Fold in Apples and Cinnamon:
- Fold in the finely chopped apple and sprinkle the cinnamon into the batter. Gently mix until the apple pieces and cinnamon are evenly distributed.
8. Transfer to Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf or cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
9. Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The teacake is done when it turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool:
- Allow the teacake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve:
- Slice the cake and enjoy it warm or at room temperature, perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is softened at room temperature to mix well with the sugar and other ingredients.

- Use a fresh and crisp apple for the best texture and flavor.

- For an extra touch, sprinkle a mix of cinnamon and sugar on top of the batter before baking.

- Let the teacake cool for a few minutes before slicing to allow it to set properly.

- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

With its moist texture and comforting flavors, apple cinnamon teacake is sure to become a favorite in your household. The combination of fresh apples and a hint of cinnamon creates a sensational treat that's both simple to make and delightful to enjoy. Happy baking!
