After chopping and drained the tinned apples, she folded the fruit into the ready-made cake mix, pouring half the batter into the bottom of a lined loaf tin.
Using leftover custard she found in the fridge, she created a thin layer of vanilla custard filling over the raw mixture before adding the remaining batter on top.
Once settled, she baked the loaf in the oven at 160C for 40 minutes, sprinkling a pinch of cinnamon on top for flavour.
Fellow mums thanked her for sharing her handiwork and praised her frugal approach to home cooking.
‘This is so simple it sounds like something even I can’t stuff up!’ one woman joked.

After gently melting the chocolate in a glass bowl over a low heat, stir in a tablespoon of smooth peanut butter until the texture is thick and creamy.
Add in as much cereal as required to create miniature balls from the mixture, scooping small mounds into baking cups.
Store in a cool, dry cake tin or refrigerate to keep treats fresh and crispy for as long as possible.
