Instructions
Preheat the oven 180C (160C fan, 350F). Cream the butter and sugar together.
Beat in the eggs.
Add the flour and cinnamon and beat again.
Fold in the chopped apples.
Line the loaf tin and fill with the batter then top with a row of the sliced apple.
Drizzle with 1 tbsp honey.
Bake for 60 minutes or until the centre is set.
Set aside to cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
Skewer all over, avoiding the apple slices. Mix the 2 tbsp honey with 1 tbsp water together and spoon all over the cake.
Cut into slices and serve with a cup of tea. Don't expect it to last very long.

Notes
My grandmother always kept the cake for us in the fridge, so try it chilled overnight for a different but equally delicious experience. Give it a try!
