Apple Cake Ingredients
- 5 Granny Smith Apples
- 2 Cups of Sugar
- 3 cups of All-Purpose Flour
- 4 Eggs
- 1 cup of Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 tsp of Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp of Salt
- 2 tsp of Cinnamon
- 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
Apple Cake Instructions
- Peel the apples, cut them into thin slices, toss them with cinnamon and a 1/2 cup of sugar and let them rest.
- Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and butter your cake pan.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
- Beat the eggs and the remaining sugar in another bowl till fluffy, then stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
- Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan, place a layer of apples on top, then cover with the rest of the batter.
- Decorate the top with the remaining apples.
- Bake for about an hour, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool before serving, but remember, a warm apple cake steals hearts!
Tip: Granny Smith apples are perfect for this recipe because they hold their shape and have a sweet-tart taste. And my advice? Don’t rush, tutto a suo tempo (everything in its own time), let the cake cool enough before cutting.
