Apple Tea Cakes

I've been wanting to add this classic Tea Cake recipe to my collection.  They are so easy to make and you only need some basic ingredients.

I decided to make the tea cakes in a 12 mini loaf tin that I recently purchased.  However, you can make it in a round or square cake tin.

These mini Apple Tea Cakes are simply delicious and perfect for everyday.  They are not overly sweet, making it ideal to have with a cup of tea or coffee.  I added some apples on top but you can make it without it and just sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on top.
