Name: Salted Caramel Apple Slice
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 35 min
Yield: Serves 12
Ingredients: 2 tsp McKenzie’s Egg Replacer; 4 tbs water; 1 ½ cup plain flour; 1 tsp McKenzie’s Baking Powder; 1/2 tsp McKenzie’s Bi-Carb Soda; ½ tsp McKenzie’s Sea Salt Grinder; 100g unsalted butter, softened at room temperature; 150g brown sugar; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 2/3 cup plain full fat yoghurt; 2 large apples, peeled, cored and chopped into 1cm cubes; 2 tsp McKenzie’s Ground Cinnamon; 1 large apple, thinly sliced to decorate the top; brown sugar; 1/4 cup butter; 1 tsp McKenzie’s Sea Salt Grinder; ½ cup thickened cream; 2 tsp vanilla

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons egg replacer powder with 4 tablespoons water. Set aside. Preheat oven to 175ºC, fan forced. Grease and line a 20x20cm square pan with baking paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, bi-carb soda and salt. Whisk together and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar and vanilla until fluffy for approximately 2 minutes. Add egg replacer mixture prepared in step 1 and yoghurt, mix for another 1 minute. Add flour mixture and combine with a spatula until no more flour streaks are visible.

Step 3

Toss apple cubes with cinnamon and gently fold into the batter. Spread batter into prepared pan, smooth surface with a spatula then place apple slices over the top, slightly overlapping in rows. Sprinkle extra cinnamon if desired.

Step 4

Bake in oven for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and let slice cool in the baking tin on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing.

Step 5

For caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients and gently melt over a low heat and bring to a simmer whisking constantly for approximately 7 minutes. Sauce will thicken further as it cools. Drizzle salted caramel sauce over the apple slice before serving.
