Gather @all-purpose flour{280%g}, @egg{2}, @whole milk{60%ml} and @ground cinnamon{1%tsp}.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a round cake tin.

Rub the cold @butter{120%g} into the flour, @baking powder{2%tsp}, cinnamon and @salt{1%pinch} until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

Stir in the @sugar{150%g}, then the eggs and milk, mixing just until a thick, soft batter forms.

Fold in the diced @apple{500%g} — the batter will be heavier with fruit than with flour, which is correct.

Spread into the tin, smooth the top, and scatter with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.

Bake 45–50 minutes, until golden and a skewer comes out clean of batter (a little apple moisture is fine). ~{2850%seconds}

Cool 10 minutes in the tin before turning out; serve warm with custard or cream. ~{10%minutes}
