Hi all, since I'm new here I thought I would contribute with one of my favorite recipes of all time. I grew up in Denmark and this is the apple cake my grandma used to bake for me all the time! It is very easy, light and goes great with creme fraiche!
What you need:
4 large, tart apples
2 eggs
150 grams sugar (2/3 cup)
150 grams flour (2/3 cup) (I sometimes substitute whole grain)
50 grams melted butter (1/3 cup)
1/3 cup of milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I also like to either add nutmeg or substitute all spice)
Preheat oven to 380F. Whisk sugar and eggs until fluffy. Add flower, milk and baking powder whisk until smooth and pour the dough into a greased baking pan. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon.
Wash and cut the apples into very thin slices (you can peel them if you want but I like to keep it on), cutting out the core. Place on top of the dough and drizzle with melted butter and the rest of the cinnamon. Bake for 30-35 minutes, let rest for 10 minutes and enjoy with ice cream or creme fraiche
