Step 1: Preheat oven to 160C (fan forced).
Step 2: Spray a 20cm (base measurement) square cake tin with cooking spray and line tin with baking paper, allowing paper to overhand the sides.
Step 3: Combine flours, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and mixed spice in a large bowl and add egg, egg white, melted margarine and mix until well combined and then stir in chopped apples.
Step 4: Spoon mixture into prepared tin and bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Step 5: Set aside in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 6: Meanwhile, melt the extra 1 tablespoon margarine in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add sliced apples and cook, stirring often, for 8 to 10 minutes or until apples are tender and golden, adding 1 tablespoon water every 4 minutes and stirring until it evaporates.
Step 7: Remove pan from heat and stir in maple syrup.
Step 8: Cut cake into squares and top with the pan-fried apple slices and fruche and sprinkle with a little extra mixed spice if you like.
Step 9: TIP 1 - You will need about 530 grams (about 5 apples) to give you 4 cups peeled and chopped apples and 170 grams (about 1 1/2) apples to give you 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced apples.
Step 10: TIP 2- Keep cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
