After so many wonderful comments about my grandma’s apple slice, I thought it was only fair for me to post the updated article. This was in the Herald Sun on Thursday the 30th of May.

[…] The story of Clare’s grandmas apple slice and how it had been passed down the generations and then along through the newspaper really resonated with me. Other readers of Clare’s blog obviously felt the same and a few days later Clare published the original recipe. […]
Wow what a beautiful story! That’s amazing 🙂 thanks for sharing the recipe and article.
I was so happy to see the article! And loved sharing the recipe with everyone.
Hi Claire, does the instructions specify the measurements of the tray to bake it?
María
What temp, how long to cook and what size tin please. This sounds amazing and would love to try it.
That’s so lovely Clare!
I loved the response.
I have just found this recipe on Facebook. I used it adding cinnamon to the mix and using up some light soft brown sugar. I will certainly be making it again. We all loved it and it was sooo easy.
Ohhh brown sugar would be delicious!
I love this! I made the slice yesterday as I had a few too many apples lying around and it is gorgeous! Yummy, quick and easy – all of which are important to me! It’s making a quick entry into my recipe notebook as a collectors item.
Paula, I’m honoured to hear that you made it. I think the best part is that you would usually have the ingredients in your pantry.
What a thrill. So nice to get the acknowledgment like that.
Such a beautiful story! I’ll definitely give this one a try, thanks for sharing it x
I’d love to know how it turns out!
Whoo hoo! Found your blog thru this yummy apple slice – god, I love the www!
Have loved your musings/recipes/and insights.
Made this apple slice today and we’re all waiting for “after dinner” to come around so we can tuck in!!
Thx Clare☺
Thanks Karen, welcome. I really hope you enjoy the space!
Dear Clare,
I live in Suffolk, England and yesterday my husband and I were walking past a market stall where he spotted apple slice for sale so I said I would try and make some when we got home. It was then that I found your recipe + lovely family story on the internet. I had all the ingredients and made it straight away … delicious! It will definitely be a regular family favourite of ours now so thank you and your Grandma! It also reminded me of a visit four years ago to see friends and family in Melbourne. Kind regards, Jane.
Jane, thank you so much for letting me know. What a joy it is to hear these stories!
How long did you bake it for at at what temperature please.
Found this recipe via a Facebook post…..in the oven now.”.loved the story and can not wait to taste it.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I love that people love my grandmas recipe.
Just gets better! Reminds me of my Mum’s recipes … “bake ’til cooked” You were taught to cook, so recipes assumed prior knowledge of cooking methods and appliance use. Thanks, Clare, still smiling!
I’m so glad!
I’ve made the apple cake, it’s a easy cake to make and so delicious, I’ve also past it on to my 86 year old mother who also likes it as a pudding with custard. Now my rubbarb is ready I’m thinking I might try that instead of apples
What a wonderful story! Thank you so much for sharing!
What size slice tin Fido you use for this recipe
I want to make it thus weekend for special friends birthday,
This slice is just amazing. I have made it often. It’s my go-to recipe for something quick to whip up for guests. Today I did something a little different. I had a tin of pie apples, and some fresh rhubarb from the garden. I cooked the rhubarb and cooled it, then followed the recipe using half a tin of pie apples and the rhubarb. It was so so good. I really love the back story to this recipe. I believe that this kind of happiness keeps the world on it’s axis…
