Ingredients
IngredientQuantityApples (Red or Granny Smith)3 to 4 largeEggs3 largeGranulated Sugar150g (3/4 cup)All-Purpose Flour150g (1 cup)Baking Powder1 tspVanilla Extract1 tspCinnamon (Optional)1/2 tspSaltA pinchStep-by-Step InstructionsPrep the Apples: Wash, core, and slice your apples into thin wedges or bite-sized chunks (as seen in your photo).
You can leave the skin on for color or peel them for a softer texture.Prepare the Tray: Line a baking pan with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly with butter. Spread the apple pieces evenly across the bottom.
Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together for about 3–5 minutes until the mixture is pale, fluffy, and has doubled in volume. This is the secret to the “melt-in-your-mouth” texture!Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla. If you like a bit of spice, add the cinnamon here. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix, or the cake will be tough.The Pour: Pour the batter slowly over the apples. Use a spatula to make sure the batter seeps down into all the gaps between the fruit.Bake: Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 to 40 minutes. The top should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.Serve: Let it cool slightly. It’s fantastic on its own, but a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes it to the next level.Pro Tip: To make it even more “ultra delicious,” toss the apple slices in a squeeze of lemon juice and a tablespoon of brown sugar before putting them in the pan. It creates a slight caramel effect at the bottom!
