11.Apple/Peach- 2 small ones

Method:

1.Take the Apple/peach, deskin it & remove the central core.Cut into small pieces and cook this in little water, until cooked...Once cooked, switch off & let it cool. Once cooled, Make a puree out of this & keep aside.

2.Take the flour, baking powder, Baking soda, & cinnamon powder in a bowl & mix it well. In another mixing bowl, take the butter, sugar & oil & mix well, until the sugar is well mixed. Add a pinch of salt, if using unsalted butter. Then add the apple/peach puree & mix well for a few minutes. Then add the condensed milk. Start adding the flour mix, little by little.
