12ozs. (approx. (350g) cored,peeled,thinly sliced Braeburn or Cox's Apples
4 free range eggs
5ozs. (150g) caster sugar

Method:
Melt the butter and set aside to cool.
Put the eggs and sugar in a pyrex bowl standing over a saucepan of gently simmering water.
Whisk for approx. 10-15 mins. until the mix is thick, pale and leaves a trail when the beaters are lifted out.
Remove the bowl and continue beating until the mixture is cool.
Gently fold in half the flour and the rosemary into the whisked eggs and sugar.
Slowly trickle the melted butter around the edge of the bowl and gently fold in. Take care not to stir the mix to heavily.
Fold in the remaining flour and the lemon zest and lastly fold in the sliced apples.
Pour the cake mix into your prepared tin and bake for approx. 40 mins (or longer depending on your oven) - bake until the cake has come away from the sides of the tin - test with a skewer to make sure it's cooked through.
Leave to rest in the tin for about 5 mins then turn out on to a wire rack and leave to cool. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
