Another traditional Guernsey recipe sent in by Gillian from Guernsey. It may share a similar name with Guernsey Gâche, but it is very different - more like a heavy sort of apple cake. It is traditionally made using suet, but we make it with Jersey butter which makes it a little lighter and less stodgy!

Ingredients:

• 1lb (450g) cooking apples - peeled and cored

• 1lb (450g) wholemeal flour

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp grated nutmeg

• Rind of 1 lemon

• 8oz (225g) Longley Farm Jersey butter

• 1lb (450g) demerara sugar

• 3 eggs

Method:

1. Slice the apples and mix with the flour, grated lemon rind and spices.
2. Leave for 2-3 hours so the apple juices begin to seep out.
3. Cream together the butter and sugar and fold in the eggs.
4. Add the egg mix to the flour and apples and stir well
5. Place the mixture in a well greased (or lined) baking tin and put in a moderate oven (170°C / gas 3) for about an hour and a half until the top is well browned
6. Serve cut into squares with Longley Farm Jersey Extra Rich Cream
