• Prepare an 8″ springform pan by spraying with oil (or butter) and lining in parchment paper (sides optional, if you want really clean sides), then spray the paper, too.
• In a food processor, or blender, process the apple pieces and lemon juice until it is almost pureed.

• Pour into prepared cake tin.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes (depending on your oven), but test with a cake tester or skewer to make sure the apple cake is done before removing from the oven.

• Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
• The cake can stand on its own, but you can also serve it with a fruit sauce, dollop of whipped cream, custard or vanilla ice cream. I prefer it plain with a cup of tea!

SUPER MOIST SPICE CAKE
