This French apple cake is OK for a vegetarian, not for a vegan one.
Ingredients
1 pound apple (cooking apples, cored and chopped)
1 cup flour (self raising flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1⁄6 cups sugar (superfine sugar, 2/3 cup for cake, 1/2 cup for topping)

4 tablespoons butter (melted, or vegetable oil)
3 egg
1 teaspoon nutmeg
6 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Place flour, baking powder, 2/3 cups sugar, milk, butter, nutmeg, and 2 eggs into a food processor. Beat until smooth.
- Pour the smooth batter over the apples, use the back of a spoon to smooth out the top, bake for 40-45 minutes. It should be a light golden color.
- While cake is cooking, prepare the topping. Cream sunflower margarine, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla extrac together with the remaining egg. Remove the cake from your oven, and spoon the topping over it.
