Apple Cinnamon Almond Damper

Cooked to perfection in a Bedourie Camp Oven over hot coals in an Open Fire. There is a sweet almond, spicy moist filling looped all through this fluffy soft damper, with fresh crisp tart Granny Smith apples slivers wedged into the folds, then brushed with milk sprinkled with raw sugar into a pan onto a trivet and popped into the camp oven. Coals are ready, camp oven onto a couple of well Placed stones in the fireplace and a few shovels of coals ontop of the lid, resist the urge to peek because this baby is going to need 25-30 minutes. It slices beautifully, the apples are just tender, the sugar has turn to a bubbly toffee like coating and the fresh baked aroma is .... An experience to remember. Cut a couple of hot wedges to impress Arthur, My neighbour who says "that's not a Damper it's a tea cake." But then he gave it an 11/10, that is better than good enough for me.  Arthur is not prone to  being too frivolous with compliments. He also claims to be a Damper Expert and has offered to teach me his special recipe. Arthur and his family have been camping forever and when he says he can make the best Damper you had better believe him.  That   Recipe is coming soon.
