Recipe from Els Termaat, dessert from lodge stay in 2003

Fruit, simmer for 5 minutes in a saucepan then place in a well-greased and lightly floured ovenproof dish:

9 ripe peaches or 8 apples
6 heaped tablespoons of sugar
Vanilla Pod, seeds removed.
6 tablespoons of water

Topping:

Beat together 190g butter and 190g castor sugar
3 large eggs
190g SR Flour

Bake for 45minutes (or more), then serve with custard or ice cream etc. This quantity (1.5 times the original recipe) was more than enough to feed 7 adults and 2 young teenagers.
