Scandinavian Apple Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Toss apples with 1 tablespoon of sugar, and pour them into a pie plate. Thoroughly mix together 1 cup of sugar with the flour, cinnamon, butter, and egg. Spread this evenly over the top of the pie.
• Bake in preheated oven until the apples have cooked and the topping is golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease and flour pan, preferably an 8½-inch or 9-inch spring form pan.

• In a medium-sized mixing bowl beat butter until light. Gradually beat in sugar until fluffy. Beat in first egg, then second egg. Beat in ¼ cup of flour mixture, then third egg. Slowly mix in remaining flour mixture, alternating with the ¼ cup of milk or water. Pour into prepared pan and smooth top.
• Peel apples; core and cut each into 6 to 8 wedges. Mix the ½ cup sugar with cinnamon. Roll apple wedges in cinnamon sugar and press wedges into cake batter all over the entire cake.
