◷ 1 hrYield: 8 servingsEasy

Ingredients

  • 800 g sliced apples
  • 70 g brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 140 g arequipe
  • 180 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 60 g butter
  • 120 ml milk

Method

  1. Heat oven to 190°C / 375°F. Toss apples with sugar, cinnamon and lemon and place in a baking dish. Dot with arequipe.
  2. Mix flour and baking powder; cut in butter, then add milk to make a soft dough.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of dough over fruit, leaving gaps for steam.
  4. Bake 35–40 minutes until fruit bubbles and topping is golden.
Arequipe noteServe warm rather than piping hot; the filling thickens slightly as it rests and the arequipe stays more distinct.
