Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup grated apple (about 1 medium apple)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0 extra flour for dusting
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Step 3
Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Gently fold the grated apple into the mixture, distributing it evenly.
Step 5
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the milk and honey. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 30 seconds to bring the dough together. Shape the dough into a round loaf about 6 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking tray. Using a sharp knife, score a cross about 1/4 inch deep into the top of the damper.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the damper is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a cooling rack before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. Enjoy!
