Gluten free Apple flan with sponge base 🍏

β€’14 Replies

Hi everyone,

I've been getting some of my neighbours surplus fruit and veg including some Bramley apples so this morning I made this apple flan using a gluten free sponge as the base with the addition of a large grated apple added to the mix then baked with slices of Bramley apple on top as they are quite sour apples I sprinkled a little Demerara sugar on them and you can see how this has caramelised on top.

Here's the recipe:

ingredients, 110g self raising gluten free flour 110g organic butter 2 free range eggs 100g Daemerarra sugar 1 large Bramley apple grated 1 tea spoon of cinnamon. I large Bramely sliced for the topping.

Whiz everything up in a food processor and spread in a flan dish put the apple slices on top and bake for approx 20mins @180C.

Bramley apples are my favourite cooking apple so I was pleased with this gift, I've home grown cucumbers and tomatoes already with some more of my own tomatoes about to be picked showing September is harvest month here. I've also a neighbour who gives me fresh eggs as I cut her hedge, so its all very friendly and amicable.

I'm looking forward to having some later and there was some apple sponge mix left over so I made 3 small individual ones so I've plenty for the freezer and another day.

I hope you all have a great day now folks.

Hello Jerry it looks delicious πŸ˜‹β˜ΊοΈ I could eat all of it if I could . Does Demerara sugar make it crunchy ?

It looks good and gets a thumbs up from me. It's nice that you live in a community where the neighbors help one another out.

Im not familiar with demerara sugar, wonder how it tastes?

Hey thanks Imaaan here’s a ,ink about Demerara sugar it’s not as sweet or refined as white sugar and I never buy or use white sugar.healthline.com/nutrition/de...

And you’re so right a community spirit works for all of us.

Thanks for the link. The article mentioned cane sugar and it brought back sweet memories of its taste and being home in Africa.
