. Mix in the cinnamon.
2. Rub in the margarine or lard until the mixture is like fine breadcrumbs.
3. Add the sugar & the egg, if this is being used.
4. Cut the apples into neat dice & add to the cake. Mix well so that you have a good idea of its consistency.
5. If required stir in enough milk to give a slow dropping consistency, i.e. the spoon needs a hard shake before the mixture drops back into the bowl.
6. Put into a greased & lined 7 inch (18cm) round cake tin. Smooth the top.
7. Bake for 1 hour in a moderately hot oven, 375-400oF, 190-200oC, Gas Mark 5-6, until firm to the touch; if the outside is browning too much reduce the heat slightly.
