Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 6-hole, 3/4-cup capacity Texas muffin pan. Sift flour, baking powder and mixed spice into a large bowl. Add sugar. Mix well.

Step 2

Combine eggs, apple sauce, melted butter, yoghurt and apple in a bowl. Stir into dry ingredients until just combined.

Step 3

Spoon batter into muffin holes until two-thirds full. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand in pan for minutes before turning cakes onto a wire rack.

Step 4

Meanwhile, combine cream, sugar and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until butter has melted. Bring to the boil, reduce heat to low and simmer and simmer for 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Step 5

Place warm cakes on plates. Drizzle with warm sauce and serve.
