Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan. Set it aside while you prepare the batter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Peel the apples, core them, and cut them into small pieces. Add the apples and sultana grapes to the mixing bowl and stir until all the fruit is coated with the flour mixture.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, and add the whole milk. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
7. Pour the batter into the greased cake pan, and spread it out evenly.
8. Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
