  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, 350°F, gas mark 4). Grease and line a rectangular 27cm x 20cm baking tin with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2:

    Peel, core and slice the apples into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and set aside until ready to use.

  3. Step 3:

    Place the butter, caster sugar, eggs, flour and baking powder into a large bowl and beat until smooth and fluffy.

  4. Step 4:

    Spoon half the cake mixture into the prepared tin and top with the apples. Spoon
    over the remaining mixture.

  5. Step 5:

    Sprinkle with the demerara sugar. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and springy to the touch. Leave to cool before turning on to a cooling rack and cutting into squares to serve.
