Ingredients
- 90g melted butter (or vegetable/sunflower oil)
- 200g dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 200g plain flour
- ½ tsp flaky sea salt (or ¼ tsp fine salt)
- 2 tsp baking powder

- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and egg until smooth and evenly combined.
- Add the flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined - the mixture will be thick.

- Scatter and lightly press the apple cubes into the surface of the batter.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and the edges are set. A toothpick inserted in the centre should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
