The scent of an apple cake is always something special! It floods the house and takes me back to when I was little and my mom used to make us a cake for a snack.
There are many, many versions to prepare apple pie, and on my website you can find plenty of them. This is the classic recipe, the one with a soft fluffy dough, apples on the surface and cinnamon.
Another apple pie recipe that I really love is apple cinnamon pie.
Ingredients
(8 people)- 2-3 apples (about 400 g)
- 1 lemon (juice)
- a tsp cinnamon (optional)

- 125 g white sugar
- 4 medium eggs (at room temperature)
- 100 g fresh whole milk
- 250 g plain flour
- A pinch of salt
- 16 g baking powder for cakes
- Vanilla sugar to taste
Let's cook
Take 2 apples (about 400 g) of the quality you prefer, core, peel and cut into slices.Place the slices in the squeezed juice of a lemon and add a tsp of ground cinnamon.
Meanwhile, prepare the cake dough.
Enter the butterfly whisk.
Put 125 g unsalted butter (at room temperature) and 125 g white sugar in the mixing bowl and whisk 5 Min. Speed 4. until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add with the blades in motion at Speed 4, 4 medium eggs (at room temperature) and whip 1 Min. Speed 4.

Pour the mixture into a 28 cm baking pan lined with backing paper.
Arrange the slices of apple radially on the dough, without sinking them.
Bake in a static oven 30-40 Min. 180C.
Once cooled, sprinkle with vanilla sugar.
Tips
Use a rectangular pan and then cut the cake into squares, perfect for a sweet snack with friends or a buffet dinner!
If you prefer, use brown sugar.
Cinnamon is an optional spice :-).
Instead of lemon and cinnamon juice, you can sprinkle the apples with a little rum or maraschino.
