This is the ONE, the only, THE dish to make with fresh Fall apples. I think it might even work well with rhubarb. It's so simple to make. Try it! The original is from Smitten Kitchen, check it out here. It would be great for brunch. It’s completely perfect in every way. Happy Fall!
Apple Cake
adapted from Smitten Kitchen
(this is a half recipe)
For the apples
3 apples, a mix of macs and cortlands is best
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
33g or 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the cake
180g or 1 1/2 cups flour MINUS a tablespoon (I use a mix of wheat and white)
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
shake of salt
117g or 1/2 cup oil (coconut is our favorite here but butter or almost any oil works)
200g or 1 cups granulated sugar
1/8 cup buttermilk, goat milk, lemonade, or orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a square pan well (we use a 9 inch silicone pan to ensure it doesnt stick). Chop apples into 1-inch chunks. Toss with cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together oil, liquid, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Add in flour, baking powder and salt.
Pour half of batter into prepared pan (it isnt much). Spread half of apples (and their juices) over it. Pour the remaining batter over the apples and arrange the remaining apples on top. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
Cool completely before cutting and serving. Keep any leftovers (ha!) at room temp.
