Instructions
Preheat the oven to 170c / 150c fan
Grease a deep 7 inch tin and line with baking parchment, or use a fluted cake liner
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and eggs.
Some mechanical assistance can be helpful here - I use an electric hand mixer.
Peel and core the apples, and cut into chunks.
Add the apple to the cake mixture, along with the sultanas.
Use a spoon to gently fold the fruit through the batter.
Transfer the cake batter into the prepared tin, and smooth the surface.
Bake for about 75 minutes, until the cake is firm on top and a skewer comes out clean.
Remove from the tin, and cool completely on a wire rack.
