APPLE CHEESE CAKE
HERE is an Apple Cake that is different with delicious cheesy tang which goes so well with the fruit. The recipe is recommended the Stork Margarine Cookery Service and serves six portions:

4ozs. (4 heaped tablespoons) selfraising flour.
2 ozs. margarine. Pinch of salt.
2-3 ozs. (2-3 rounded tablespoons) sugar.
1 tablespoon milk.
1/2 lb. cooking apples.
1 egg (or 2 extra tablespoons milk).
Milk and sugar to coat.
3 ozs. (3 heaped tablespoons) grated cheese.

Peel and core the apples and slice very thinly. Sieve the flour and salt into a basin, and rub the margarine. Add the grated cheese, sliced apples, and sugar, and stir in. Beat the egg slightly (if used) mix with the milk, add the dry ingredients and mix well. Put into an 8-inch sandwich tin brushed with melted margarine and spread evenly. Brush over with milk, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 45 minutes in a moderately hot oven (Regulo Mark 5: deg. F) the third shelf from the top. Serve hot. sprinkled with sugar.
