Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 180ºC/fan 160°C/gas 4. Lightly grease and line the base of a 20–22cm square baking tray with baking paper.
2 Put the spread and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until creamy. Add the ground ginger and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, beating well to combine. Fold in the flour with the stem ginger, blueberries, honey and half the apple slices.
