APPLE SHORTCAKE

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons Dairy Free Margarine
3/4 cup White Sugar
2 Eggs (or Egg replacer if you cant have Eggs)
2 cups Self Raising Flour

800g tin of Pie Apples
1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Icing Sugar for dusting

Pre heat your oven to 180 degrees and line a spring form cake tin.

In a large bowl cream the Margarine and Sugar (it will be fairly dry compared with some "creamings" but that's good) before mixing in the two Eggs.

Using a spoon add the flour to form a soft dough - You may need to use your hands.

Divide the dough into two and press one half into your tin covering the whole base.

Mix the Apples up with about a teaspoon of Cinnamon and spoon them evenly over the pastry base in the tin.

The remaining dough will be the top, to do this use two sheets of cling film so the dough doesn't stick, rolling out a circle to place atop of the apples. Careful as it can be fragile!

Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden.  It should have a firm almost "crust" feel - this is a shortcake after all.

Remove from the tin as soon as its cool enough to handle to prevent the cake sweating and going soft and allow it to cool on a rack. 

Dust with icing sugar and serve!
