3.	Incorporate self-raising flour, dry yeast, and sugar. Process until the dough is light and not sticking to the processor's sides.
4.	Adjust the dough consistency by adding more flour if too moist or a splash of milk if too dry.
5.	Cover the dough and refrigerate overnight to develop its flavors.
6.	Remove the dough from the fridge 1-2 hours before baking to allow it to soften slightly.
7.	Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and grease a rectangular baking dish.
8.	Divide the dough in two parts, roll out one portion to fit the baking dish.
9.	Sprinkle crushed walnuts evenly over the dough.
10.	Grate the Red Delicious apples, then squeeze out excess juice.
11.	Spread the grated apples over the walnuts.
12.	Sprinkle with a touch of caster sugar and a hint of cinnamon for that cozy flavor.
13.	Cover the filling with the second half of the dough.
14.	Brush the top dough layer with a beaten egg, then prick with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
15.	Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
16.	Allow the cake to cool in the baking dish before serving.
17.	Serve slices of this delightful cake with a dollop of cream for a truly indulgent treat!
