Old Fashioned Apple Slice with Pineapple and Ginger

Old fashioned apple slice with pineapple and ginger
Old fashioned apple slice with pineapple and ginger, takes me back to my childhood
When I was a little girl, my mother (a beautiful cook in her own right) always took me to cake shops as a treat at the end of our shopping expeditions.   Together we adored sampling freshly-made millefeuille, vanilla slice, strudel and chocolate eclairs.  Another of our favourites was the simple, but delicious, apple slice.

A family member gave me her handwritten recipe for this rather divine slice decades ago and since then I've adopted it as my own.  It's lovely served warm as a dessert with a dollop of King Island cream.

ANITA'S APPLE, PINEAPPLE AND GINGER SLICE
185g unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
3/4 cup caster sugar
2 large eggs
13/4  cups plain flour
2 tablespoons chopped Buderim crystallised ginger or baby stem ginger
1 x 470g can crushed pineapple (well drained)
3 apples peeled, sliced and lightly steamed
Cream the butter, lemon zest and sugar.  Beat in the eggs, one at a time then carefully fold in the sifted flour and ginger.
Spread half of this mixture into a lined lamington tin. Top with the pineapple and apples.  Spoon the remaining mixture evenly over the top - it will spread as it cooks. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 deg C 45 minutes until golden brown.  Serve cut into squares generously dusted with icing sugar. Hint:  Use a combination of Granny Smith and Delicious apples for a good consistency.  A 410g tin of pie apples can be substituted.
