Ingredients

• 2 apples, peeled, or more to taste
• 0.75 cup water
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.75 cup butter
• 1.5 teaspoons ground allspice
• 0.75 cup golden syrup

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a (9x5-inch) loaf pan or 2 smaller ones with butter.

Step 2

Warm syrup, water, butter, and sugar in a medium pan over low heat until butter and sugar are just melted. Remove from heat and mix well.

Step 3

Grate apples directly into the pan. Sift flour, baking soda, ginger, and allspice over apples; stir until batter is just combined. Do not overmix. Pour batter into the prepared pan(s).

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of loaf comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
