Chunky Apple & Cinnamon Cake

Abigail Carberry @abithewitterer

This delicious cake is so easy to put together and smells amazing whilst cooking. You can use any apple variety you prefer, I used Royal Galas. I think it works so well with chunky apple pieces but of course you can cut smaller. I also did not remove the peel. If you want more of a crunchy top you can double the quantities for the topping.
