Making the same apple cake over and over is boring, so I came up with this new version.

For those who don't want their cut apples to discolour, squirt some lemon juice . In Step 2 when making the caramel, lining the frying pan makes it far easier to clean at the end! Keep an eye on the caramel right until it changes colour. Once it's a brown tea colour, take it off the heat. Recipe by mimiko10

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. Caramel
  2. 8 tbsp○Sugar
  3. 4 tbsp○Water
  4. 1 tbsp○Unsalted butter
  5. Cake
  6. 2Eggs
  7. 50 gramsSugar
  8. 150 gramsPlain white flour
  9. 1 tspBaking powder (sifted into the flour)
  10. 100 mlMilk, yogurt or heavy cream
  11. 1 pinchSalt
  12. 250 gramsApples (tart baking apples)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Oil the sides of a cake tin (not listed) and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Peel the apples and make some slices to use on the top of the cake. Cut the rest of the apples into 1 cm cubes.

  3. 3

    Grease a frying pan with margarine (not listed) and line it with parchment paper. Cut off the hanging paper.

  4. 4

    Heat the pan on medium heat before adding the caramel ingredients marked with ○ and leave for a while. Foam should form and the colour should also change. The mixture should still be smooth at this point.

  5. 5

    Tilt the pan back and forth every so often and wait. After about 4 minutes, once the color changes as seen in the photo, remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Pour half of the caramel into the cake tin and arrange the sliced apples on top.

  7. 7

    If the worst happens and your caramel hardens, crack it in half, and half into the batter below the apple slices.

  8. 8

    Add the eggs and sugar to a bowl and mix well. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the apple and mix until all the ingredients are combined and the mixture is no longer floury.

  9. 9

    Add the remaining apple and caramel to the bowl from Step 8 and mix well with a wooden spatula. (If the caramel hardens, break the caramel into smaller pieces and scatter in.)

  10. 10

    Pour the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 30 - 35 minutes.

  11. 11

    Leave the removable bottom of the cake tin as it is. Remove the sides of the cake tin as well as the baking paper lining them. Cool on a wire rack.

  12. 12

    Once cooled, turn the cake out upside down onto a plate (this will mean the caramel and apple topping will face upward.)
