Description

Ingredients

• 6 average-sized Golden Delicious apples, peeled
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla or vanilla bean paste
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. (20 g) butter
• 6 1/2 Tbsp. (100 ml) milk
• 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp. (70 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• Pinch of salt

Directions

• Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 400 F.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla until very light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Melt the butter in saucepan or microwave bowl. Add the milk and stir well to combine. Allow to cool slightly, then add to the egg/sugar mixture. Mix to combine.
• Sift together the flour and baking powder, the sprinkle over the egg/sugar mixture. Mix just until combined.
• Quarter the peeled apples and remove the core. Use a mandolin to slice each quarter into thin slices. Add the apple sliced to the batter regularly (dont wait until youve done them all) and push them below batter, so they dont brown. Reserve the last handful of apple slices to scatter on top of batter. Gently stir the apples in the batter to ensure all apples are coated. Pour in to prepared springform pan and scatter the reserved apple slices randomly over-top. Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until set. If desired, you can turn on the broiler for a minute to brown up the top of the cake.
• Leave in pan to cool, then run knife around edges and remove outer springform pan ring. Serve slightly warm, at room temperature or cold dusted with icing sugar.
