110 g golden caster sugar

Peel, core and finely chop the apple and stir it into the mix.
1 small apple
Make a well in the centre and break in the eggs.
2 medium eggs
Add the rapeseed oil and sour milk (see note below on how to make a cheat's version).
90 ml cold pressed rapeseed oil, 200 ml sour milk
Stir until just combined.

Notes

To make a cheat’s version of sour milk, add a teaspoon of lemon juice or cider vinegar to the milk, give it a stir and leave for five minutes. When it’s curdled, it’s ready to use.
