150 grams butter

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Apples: Butter a 6 cup capacity baking dish. Peel, quarter and core the apples and cut into 1 cm thick slices. Place in the dish with the sugar, spices, lemon juice, water and the sultanas. Bake 20 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C.

Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbling. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with pouring cream or custard.
