LIGHTLY SPICED APPLE PIE BREAD

400 grams canned pie apples, mashed or  blitzed (14.1 oz)
1 medium granny smith apple, peeled, cored and diced
1 packet golden butter cake mix
1 cup self raising flour
1 heaped teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
4 eggs, lightly beaten.

preheat oven to 180 c. lightly grease sides and line bottom of
a large non stick loaf tin.

in a large bowl, stir the cake mix, flour and spices
together.

stir in the eggs, pie apple and diced apple until well
combined.

pour into tin.  cook for approx. 40 minutes or until a skewer
comes out clean.

cool in tin for 5 minutes then remove to wire rack to cool
completely.

drizzle with icing. (optional)

ICING

1 cup icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
approx 1 1/2 tablespoons milk

mix the icing sugar and vanilla together with enough milk to
make a drizzle.

serve as is with butter or toast in a sandwich press or under the griller.

NOTE: I used the "woolworths" pie apples and "greens" golden
butter cake. this packet comes with icing mix so use this to
make the drizzle for the cake.
