- Grease a baking tray with butter and pour one-third of the batter into it.
- Mix the remaining batter with one-third of the walnut mixture and 60ml of milk until well combined. Pour this mixture into the tray.
- Arrange the apple slices on top of the batter in the tray
- Sprinkle the remaining walnut mixture and a little cinnamon over the apples.
