Method
Preheat the oven to 160˚C, gas mark 3 then grease a 20cm round cake tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment. Cut one apple into 1cm chunks, and slice the other. Using electric beaters, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, which should take approximately 3-4 minutes.
Beat in 175g of honey, and then the eggs, one at a time.
Combine the dry ingredients, adding a pinch of salt, and fold into the creamed mixture, and stir through the apple chunks.
Tip the mixture into the tin and arrange the sliced apple over the top. Bake for around 1 hour 15 minutes, when it will set on top and an inserted skewer comes out clean. If it starts to look too dark on top, cover loosely with a sheet of foil after approximately 45-55 minutes. Cool in the tin. When ready, remove from the tin. Warm the remaining 50g honey in a pan or the microwave, and spoon or brush over the cake.
