Recipe: Spiced apple cakes with caramel sauce
How to Make:
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 6-hole, 3/4-cup capacity Texas muffin pan. Sift flour, baking powder and mixed spice into a large bowl. Add 1/3 cup sugar. Mix well.
- Combine eggwhites, apple sauce, melted spread, yoghurt and apple in a bowl. Stir into dry ingredients until just combined.
- Spoon batter into muffin holes until two-thirds full. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand in pan for minutes before turning cakes onto a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, combine golden syrup, milk and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until sugar has dissolved. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Combine cornflour with 2 teaspoons cold water. Stir into sauce. Return sauce to low heat. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until sauce boils and thickens slightly.
- Place warm cakes on plates. Drizzle with warm sauce and serve.
