Answer 1

Apple sponge is always a winner in our house!

Just cook some cooking apples and lay them in a dish.

Make a sponge (125g butter, 125g caster sugar, 2 eggs, 125g self raising flour, 2 tbsp milk) and put it on top of the apples. Bake for 20 mins or so and serve with cream or custard.

It takes almost no time at all and is delicious.

This requires a bit of preparation, in that you have to have boiled a tin of condensed milk (sweetened, full cream) for a couple of hours (take care not to let the pan boil dry!), and prepare the base in time to give it a bit of time in the fridge, but the actual effort time is about 10 mins, and it is fantastic.

Also using condensed milk (can you tell I'm a fan?), lemon meringue pie is easy and superb. The recipe was passed down to me from my Grandma, who I think took it from the tin, as the recipe is still on there. This is from memory, so may not be exactly the same
Make, or buy, a pastry case.
Separate 2 small eggs.
Use a serrated knife to scrape the zest off a lemon. Add this, and the juice of the lemon to the egg yolks. Add half a large tin of condensed milk (I use a large half!) and stir everything until fully mixed. Add this to the pastry case
Whisk the egg whites until are firm, then fold in 1 ounce or so of caster sugar. Pile the meringue on top of the pie, and heat in a low oven (about 150 degC, not fan assisted), until the meringue is as crisp as you want it (prob about 15 mins)

It's excellent hot or cold.

Answer 7

Cheesecake! crush a packet of digestive biscuits and mix them with melted butter until they are sticky enough to bind together. press this into a cake tin (preferably one with a moving bottom). To make the filling beat 500g philly cheese with a cup of icing sugar. Mix in a tub of double cream (200ml ish) take a packet of lemon jelly and add just enough water to dissolve the jelly crystals or tablet. Let it cool then stir it through the rest of the mix (you can leave it looking marbled if you don't stir it completely) Pour this over the biscuit base and chill for a couple of hours. you can make up another packet of jelly and pour it over the top of the cake when it's cool.(it looks a little childish but tastes fantastic!) Or you can decorate it with your favourite fruit.
