South African Apple Cake Recipe

I can't remember where I got this recipe, or what is particularly South African about it, but it's a really simple dessert with no exotic ingredients that feeds a hungry horde.   You bake it in a large lasagne dish.  You can bake it a bit earlier in the day and reheat it to warm when you're serving it.

Ingredients
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
30 g butter (melted)
1 cup self raising flour (gluten free works fine)
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
tin of pie apples (800g)
3/4 cup cream
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon caramel topping
vanilla icecream to serve

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C
2. Beat the eggs, sugar, milk, melted butter, flour, salt and cinnamon together and pour into a lasagne dish.  This should be a thick batter consistency - don't be alarmed!
3. Top the mixture with the pie apples - no need to be neat.
4. Bake for 30 minutes.
5. Bring the cream and brown sugar to the boil, and stir in the caramel topping.
6. Remove the cake from the oven, prick it all over with a skewer, and carefully pour the caramel sauce over it.
7. Return it to the oven for another 20 minutes or so.  Sometimes it needs more to cook properly in the middle.
8. Serve warm with vanilla icecream.
