Apple Crumble Cake in Rice Cooker

Here is the most delciious Apple Crumble Cake that I had ever baked!

Recently, there was an offer for Royal Gala apples at Tesco and I just had to buy a few packets from the shelves because I could save at least 20% from the normal price.

An Apple a day, keeps the doctor away

This proverb did make sense.

My kids had 2 apples per day, cut apples without skin as they find it hard to chew off the skin.

As for the remainder apples, I had decided to try my hands on Apple Crumble Cake which my friends at Facebook had recommended.

I have to admit that this apple cake turned out super moist, fine texture with lots of crumbs that my kids and I loved most.

How to prepare Apple Crumble Cake

The basic ingredients used are similar to any butter cake recipe.

You will need:

• 1lb ( 480g) of fresh apples ( you can choose green apples or Royal Gala red apples)
• Butter or margarine ( unsalted would be better )
• brown sugar ( not white sugar because the apples itself are sweet- try to reduce the sugar intake)
• Self raising flour- there are 2 types of flour required; white self raising flour (the normal type) and wholemeal self raising flour ( for more nutrients)
• sultanas or raisins or prunes ( without seeds)
• demerara sugar ( not brown sugar)- for top surface crumbles
• ground cinnamon- to bring our the spice in your apple cake

All these ingredients are sold in supermarket. Choose local made products. You don’t to spend extra money on foreign import goods. Local ingredients taste as good as foreign ones. I try to save money , buy local products.
