GRANDMA'S FRESH APPLE CAKE

Moist cinnamon cake enfolding sliced fresh apples makes a delicious dessert or wholesome snack cake. This recipe came from my mother, Ann. I have cut the sugar down to 1 cup, as most modern apples are sweet enough to not need the original 2 cups called for. I like to replace 1 cup of all purpose flour with 1 cup whole wheat flour.

GRANDMA'S APPLE CAKE

This was a massive hit when i was growing up. My grandma would make this weekly and as visitors called she would have orders to make her guests a cake for the following week. She served it with custard, vanilla ice cream or fresh cream and all were equally delicious! This was a great cake to eat during the winter served hot with custard. I have now started to add a handful of flaked almonds, sprinkled on top of the cake (just before it goes in the oven) The addition of the flaked almonds, seems to be an even bigger hit! Enjoy!

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Generously grease an 8-inch round cake pan (no need to grease if pan is nonstick).
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the apples, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the Calvados, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and the cinnamon. Set aside until needed.
  • Whisk together the yogurt and the remaining sugar in a large bowl, until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Combine the flour and baking soda, then add the oil and eggs, whisking well after each addition. Stir the apple pieces into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Set on a sturdy baking sheet and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  • Note: The cake is best made several hours before serving, or better yet, the night before.

2 large Golden Delicious, Jonagold, or other baking apple, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons Calvados (apple brandy)
1 1/4 cups sugar
