Grease a 20cm (8 inch) springform pan, preheat the oven to 180°C.

Peel apples, remove cores and cut them into eighths. Place into a medium sized saucepan with Verjuice and 1 tablespoon of caster sugar cover and cook over medium low heat until soft (about 20 minutes) but not mushy, set aside to cool.

Cream butter, remaining sugar, and vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition.

Transfer mixture to a large bowl, and stir in sifted flour, cinnamon, and milk. Spread half the mixture into the prepared pan. Top with the apple and finish with the remaining cake mix.

Place into the preheated oven and bake for approximately one hour until golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Dust with icing sugar, and serve with Rich Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
