Recipe Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 180° C. Grease a 20cm oven dish.
2. Beat the margarine, sugar and eggs together thoroughly until fluffy.
3. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together directly onto this mixture, and along with the milk, blend together slowly to a smooth batter.
4. Spoon the canned apples into the prepared oven dish and pour the batter over. Bake for 30 minutes.
5. Ten minutes before the baking time is up, combine the sauce ingredients in a saucepan, and while stirring, bring almost to the boil.
6. Pour this sauce over the hot sponge and it is removed from the oven. Set aside for some of the sauce to sink into the sponge.
