Teisen Fala is a traditional Welsh apple cake that has been enjoyed for generations. It is a simple and rustic recipe that is made with basic ingredients found in most kitchens. The cake is known for its traditional, comforting flavor and texture, which is perfect for cool autumn evenings. Teisen Fala uses cooking apples, which gives the cake a slightly tart taste that pairs well with the sweet brown sugar. It is perfect as a breakfast treat or after dinner dessert. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan.
2.	Mix the flour and butter together in a large bowl until it forms a breadcrumb-like texture.
3.	Add in the brown sugar and mix until combined.
4.	Peel, core, and chop the apples and add them to the mixture. Mix well.
5.	Add enough milk to create a soft dropping consistency.
6.	Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and smooth it with a spatula.
7.	Bake for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown. To check if it is cooked, insert a skewer into the center of the cake - if it comes out clean it is cooked.
8.	Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
