  Apple matafan cake   Plum pie
 
  • 250 GRAM FLOUR
  • 2 CUPS MILK
  • 4 EGGS
  • 4 TBSP SUGAR
  • 1/2 TSP CINNAMON
  • 4 APPLES, peeled, cored and sliced
 
  • 300 GRAM SELF RAISING FLOUR
  • 200 GRAM BUTTER
  • 150 GRAM SUGAR
  • 1 EGG
  • 150 GRAM PRUNES
  • 3 APPLES, cored, peeled and cubed
  • 75 GRAM WALNUTS, chopped
Put the flour, eggs and milk together and stir well. Pour half of the batter in a greased heated frying pan, put the apple parts, the sugar and cinnamon on top and pour the other half of the batter on the apples. Fry 15 minutes on low heat. Turn the cake on a plate, put it back in the frying pan and fry 10 minutes more. Dust with icing sugar.

Soak the prunes a few hours in hot tea and drain them. Mix with the apples and the walnuts. Mix the flour with the butter, the sugar and the egg and knead well. Add some water if needed. Allow the dough to rest half an hour in the fridge. Put one third apart, roll the rest out and line a greased pie mold with it. Stuff it with the prune mixture. Roll out the remaining dough and cut this in strips, cover the top of the pie. Bake the pie half an hour at 190 degrees Celsius. Switch off the heat and leave the pie in the oven for one hour.
