Lillian's Apple Cake - my childhood favourite! Fab Food 4 All

I don’t know who Lillian was but my mother has been baking this yummy Danish Lilian’s Apple Cake for as long as I can remember. 

Fresh apple slices and cinnamon are complemented by a divine nutty topping which gets toasted whilst baking. My family loved this cake which I baked for the first time today! Serve with a cup of tea or as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream.
