Ingredients
- Apples (Gala, Honeycrisp, or Fuji): 1 kg (about 4-5 medium)
- Eggs: 2 large
- Granulated Sugar: 80g
- All-Purpose Flour: 70g
- Milk: 120ml
- Unsalted Butter, melted: 50g
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Pinch of Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 8-inch round cake pan.
- Step 2: Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract and salt until combined. Gradually whisk in the flour until smooth, then whisk in the milk.
- Step 4: Add the sliced apples to the batter and gently toss to ensure all slices are well coated.
- Step 5: Pour the apple mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading evenly.
- Step 6: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (it may still be slightly moist from the apples). Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
Notes
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4.
- For a warm, comforting treat, gently reheat individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
- Serve this delightful cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
- For the most "invisible" effect, use a mandoline to achieve consistently thin apple slices, ensuring they practically melt into the batter.
