Spicy Apple Cake

The bananas were over ripe – just right for baking but there weren’t quite enough for a Banana Cake

I did have some stewed apple though so used that to top up the banana.

The result tasted as the usual banana cake does but was a bit lighter and moister in texture.

That got me wondering if I could substitue stewed apple for all the banana.

I added cinnmon and mixed spice as well, and it was delicious.
