Cheese Puffs

Now that new season apples are plentiful, this cake is also a good choice, especially if you have apples that quickly cook to a pulp, such as Sunrise or Ballarat. A cake takes longer to make and bake than scones, so it is just as well that this one is delicious to eat straight from the oven. I prefer this recipe, in which slices of raw apple are baked in the middle of a light, buttery cake, to the more traditional apple shortcake, which is made with hot stewed apple.
