APPLE SPONGE / FRUIT SPONGE

This uses the same ingredients and method as the filling for Apple Pie and the same ingredients and method as a Victoria Sponge Cake for the topping.  I would make just half the quantity of the Victoria Sponge mixture or make the full amount and make some fairy cakes with the excess.  If you're making a batch of cake mixture you may as well take advantage and make two things at once!

You can also vary it by using different fruits for the filling.  Rhubarb is delicious, using the same method as cooking apples or you could use any tinned fruit.

Place cooked (or tinned) fruit in the base of a greased ovenproof dish and then top with the cake mixture for a light sponge pudding.  Serve hot with cream or custard.
