Apple Pie Cake


How can we not celebrate the autumn season without making some sort of dessert with apples? I fiddled between apple pie, crisp and cake. Then I found a recipe that had the best of both worlds...apple pie cake. Who would have thought about that?

Picture to follow but here is my version of the recipe.

Apple Pie Cake

Preheat oven to 350 F.

2 eggs
2 cups of granulated sugar
1 cup of oil (I used corn oil, the original recipe asked for vegetable oil)
1 tsp of vanilla
2 cups of all purpose flour
2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 each of baking powder, baking soda and salt
4 cups of apples (the recipe called for 5 cups but I found it to be more apple and no cake)
1 tsp of orange juice

Peel and core the apples. Cut into bit size pieces.
Add orange juice to apples to prevent from browning.

Wet: In one bowl, beat eggs, sugar. oil and vanilla. Set aside
Dry: In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Fold in the apples.

Pour batter into a 9 inch springform cake pan. Be sure to place parchment paper on the bottom of the cake pan and lightly grease the sides.

Bake for approx. 50-60 mins or until an inserted toothpick comes out dry.

Your house will smell sooo goood.
Serves 12.
