Toffee apple traybake (parkin) recipe

We've taken the classic Yorkshire ginger cake and given it a Bonfire Night spin with toffee apple flavours and a pretty sliced apple topping. Enjoy a square with a cuppa after the fireworks or serve for dessert. You won't want to wait til Bonfire Night to make this again!

Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 3, 160°C, fan 140°C, and grease and line a deep 20 x 30cm baking tin with nonstick baking paper. Put the spread, syrup, treacle and sugar in a pan and melt over a medium heat, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, peel the apples, then chop 2 into roughly 1cm chunks; set aside. Halve the remaining apples, core and thinly slice, keeping each half together once sliced.
- Mix the flour, oats and spices in a large bowl. Stir through the melted baking spread mixture and the chopped apples, then add the eggs, toffees and chopped ginger with a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined, then pour into the tin.
- Fan out each sliced apple half and arrange on top of the batter, so the slices are spread out but still touching. Bake for 50-55 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and brush the apple slices with the stem ginger syrup. Will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
