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
Heat oven to 190°C / 375°F. Toss apples with sugar, cinnamon and lemon and place in a baking dish. Dot with arequipe.
Mix flour and baking powder; cut in butter, then add milk to make a soft dough.
Drop spoonfuls of dough over fruit, leaving gaps for steam.
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.
