Ingredients

225 g self-rising flour
100 g unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
22 g packed soft light brown sugar, plus a little extra to sprinkle
1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon
2 dessert apples, peeled and diced
75 g sugar-free muesli
1 large egg, beaten
4 to 5 tbsp (60 to 75 mL) low-fat (2%) milk, as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC. Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets; set aside. Put the flour into a bowl. Add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.
  2. Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, apples, and muesli. Add the egg and stir it in with enough milk to bind the dough together roughly.
  3. Drop generous tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the cookie sheets, leaving space around each mound, and sprinkle with a little extra sugar. Bake until golden and firm to the touch, about 15 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, and serve warm or cold. The rock cakes keep in an airtight container up to 2 days.
