Instructions:
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Set aside.
- Measure out the butter, sugar, eggs, honey, and self-raising flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Add the honey to the batter and mix until well combined.
- Gently fold in the self-raising flour until the mixture is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon a small amount of batter into the bottom of each muffin cup or mold.
- Arrange a few apple slices on top of the batter in each cup.
- Spoon the remaining batter over the apple slices, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Place additional apple slices on top of each cake and sprinkle with a little brown sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the tea cakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with a drizzle of honey if desired.
Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor profile; Granny Smiths add a delightful tartness while Honeycrisps offer extra sweetness.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting; this helps them combine more smoothly.
- Be sure to peel and finely chop the apples so they mix evenly into the batter and cook through.
- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make it by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- You can garnish the top with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of additional honey before serving.
