Line three 7 inch cake tins with parchment and preheat the oven to 170c. In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat the butter and sugars until very light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla, followed by the flour and baking powder. Beat to combine and transfer to the tins. Bake for 28-32 mins. 2. Make the apple filing. Add all of the ingredients to a pan and gently cook for about 15-20 minutes until the apples are soft and the sauce thick. Leave to cool. 3. Make the buttercream. Beat the butter until very fluffy before adding the icing sugar, cinnamon and milk. Beat until very light. Colour a small amount red and green for the apple decor. 4. Layer the cake with some of the buttercream and apple filling. Crumb coat the cake before chilling and applying a final coat. Pipe on the apples and enjoy! - @rowanclaughton
