You'll need

180 ml¾ cup water
140 g½ cup + 2 tbsp5 oz unsalted butter, cubed, plus extra for greasing
200 g1⅔ cups7 oz self-raising flour (or plain flour + 2 tsp baking powder)
140 g⅔ cup5 oz light brown soft sugar plus 1 tbsp
1 tsp cinnamon
2 medium eggs
2 tbsp milk
2 eating apples, peeled, cored and diced 1cm
Optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Method

Pour water into Combi Pan and place Crisper Plate on top. Grease and line cake tin.
Our tip A 20 cm (8 in) round tin fits on the crisper plate; a 22 cm one is too wide.
Rub flour and butter to fine breadcrumbs. Mix in sugar and cinnamon, then whisk in eggs and milk.
Our tip Work with cold butter and just your fingertips, lifting the mix as you rub. Give the bowl a shake now and then: any lumps of butter left come up to the top.
Fold in apples, spoon into tin and sprinkle 1 tbsp brown sugar over top.
Place tin on Crisper Plate. Select COMBI BAKE, 160°C320°F, . Unit steams first. Check after with skewer.
Our tip That's 20 minutes of countdown, which only starts once the steam phase is over, so check with about 5 minutes left. Push the skewer in between the apple pieces: it should come out clean.
Cool in tin and serve warm or cooled.
