Oh just a quick note! 🍏 In the almond-meal version I did add ½ cup (110 g) sugar with the flour and almond meal, but I accidentally left that step out during editing. Everything else is correct — I just wanted to make sure you had the full recipe. ❤ 👉 Full recipe here: https://leescooking.com/apple-slice-recipe/
Warmly,

You can use vanilla instead of Almond essence to give the icing a nice flavor. Thanks for the recipe I'm going g to make this.
Hi, I’ve subbed and will bake this cake slice, I’m in SA and need this for Christmas bake up.
Looks yummy, just a little tip, snip the corner of your icing bag after you fill it, saves leakage and easier to manage.
Also new subscriber, and hello from Michigan
I made the first apple slice and it was fantastic. My fussy husband also had it and loved it. I added some crushed pecans on the topping just for me. Love almond flour & marzipan. Thanks for the 3 really good recipes!
Across the ditch we use 250ml.
In oven as we speak the almond version or nearly..that’s the joy of cooking you can adjust without going too wrong I hope..
Love to all from the fall in Wales uk…
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Sunny regards from beatiful South Acrica 🇿🇦
When you ate that, i could taste it, and i love almonds. Well done. We have a glut of apples in the Uk at the moment, so need recipes to use them.
I made this last week and my husband loved it 💜it is delicious and easy to make
This recipe sounds delicious 😊
Ah just followed along and you missed the sugar out of the almond base! Oh well lets try it
This looks amazing! It's fall and my favorite time of year to try new recipes. As a matter of fact, I just pulled it out of the oven. I have a diabetic family member so I'm using granulated monk fruit. Two firsts for me, your recipe and the monk fruit as a sweetener. My house smells so good and let me tell you it is amazing!! The quintessential fall apple recipe. Here in the US they sell poor quality food. The monk fruit sweetener is non-GMO and sold by Sweet Leaf. It is so simple to use because it's a 1:1 ratio to sugar. My mom's blood sugar didn't spike either. Thank you so much from me and mom. I just subscribed!
Hi Lee💚 i made this i made a gluten free version because my daughter has problems with wheat. It tasted lovley !
It didnt look quite as great as yours……i guess practise makes perfect ! Thankyou !!💚💐⭐🌻
I loved the recipe a nd your presentation was good, no "faffing" around, some presenters slice up every bit of apple, or onion or carrots, but you go straight to the nitty gritty.
Thank you
great to hear an Aussie accent on here for a change. Looks yummie
Greetings from Gibraltar ! Made this yesterday,se easy to prepare ….did first one. Absolutely delicious! Wait for it to cool down? Haha,it was gone within minutes.Had it with custard.Ill be making this again and again no doubt,maybe use pears next time.Thanks for your clear instructions,no nonsense and full of common sense ❤️
I would use golden yellow (brown) sugar instead of white sugar with the apples.
I like how you cut the apples !! Thzts how i cut them !!💗 im vegan would it work 14 cup youghourt rather egg?✨⭐✨💐☕🍪
Oh, please, what is " 140" grams
I would probably break out my Mandolin to slice the apples 🍎
There are so many things that I’ve made in my life, not containing cows, milk of any kind. That people never knew didn’t contain milk. I would make all the desserts, pancakes, desserts, regular meals, and I never use cows milk ever as I’m terribly allergic to it. People have to wake up and use other things sheep’s milk is the closest to human milk that you can have. Cows milk will not digest in the human system. Try using alternatives to cows, milk, and heavy cream and everything else.
Why does everybody use milk, cows, milk? There are so many people that are allergic to cows milk you should not be using it. There should be an alternative like almond milk, sheep’s milk and or goats milk. You should add an alternative to your recipe. I grew up on a dairy farm and was all allergic to cows milk all my life. I am now 70 years old and still cannot have cows milk. So I’ve had to find all kinds of alternatives to using cows milk in cooking.
Sounds so good- I'm going to make this in 2 8×8 pans and share one with a friend
Excellent presentations for all of your videos. Thank you!
Yum that’s so easy!
I've just made the almond version…waiting for the icing to set them ill cut it ❤
What if i dont like almondd??????
Kiwi here living in Hawai'i. My mum would make the same apple /////slice with both bottom and top the short pastry and the apples between. But thus variation is a delicious variant. Thanks Lee!
I made it and I don’t know what I did wrong, the base and top were bland, and 60 mins was just too long it was just not good,
This recipe came across my feed just in time. I need a delicious easy desert bar for a program Saturday evening! Thank you for sharing!
Lots of work; looks delicious.
I just tuned in to your video…..then I saw your hair….no thanks…..sorry but tie your hai4 back!
