Boiled Apple Fruit Cake

This is the simplest fruit cake you will ever make and is much better than a standard boiled fruit cake. The apple ensures this cake maintains its moisture for 4 – 5 days.

The preparation time listed does not include the cooling time from boiling the fruit.

Tip: This cake can be frozen. I cut it into quarters, wrap it in greaseproof paper, then cling wrap and store it in the freezer in a zip lock bag. Each quarter is fully defrosted prior to requiring.

This recipe has been taken from The Commonsense Cookery Book a book I remember my mother and grandmother using.
