Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

125ml (½ cup) olive oil
140g (½ cup) maple syrup or agave syrup
2 eggs
130g (1/2 cup) apple sauce (shop-bought or homemade)
185g (2 cups) ground almonds
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 apple , skin-on, cored and diced
tiny splash olive oil
1 tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp cinnamon

Steps:

Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5, and lightly oil a 20cm springform tin and line the base with a circle of baking parchment.
In a stand mixer, or using a hand blender, whizz together the oil and maple syrup for 30 secs. Add the eggs and whizz for another 1 min before adding the apple sauce and blending for a further 30 secs. Tip in the ground almonds, baking powder, 1 tsp salt and cinnamon, blend for 30 secs and your batter is done. Pour it into the tin, and bake for around 30-40 mins or until the top is a deep golden brown, the cake is coming away from the sides a little, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
While it's cooking, make the topping. In a small frying pan, cook the apple gently with the rest of the topping ingredients and ½ tsp salt until the apple is soft and gently caramelised. When the cake is ready, scatter the bronzed apple chunks on top of the cake. You could also make it with chunks of caramelised peach or plum on top, or some cherry compote, or any berries which you have softened in a pan with a little water and maple syrup. Eat warm, as a pudding, with a spoonful of Greek yogurt, or cold with a cup of tea or coffee.

Categories Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 large apples, peeled, quartered and cored
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, at room temperature
2/3 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup almonds, sliced and blanched
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Grease a 9" springform pan and set aside.
Peel, quarter and core the apples.
Cut each quarter into 3 pieces to make 36 wedges; set aside.
Make the topping by stirring together the sliced almonds, sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, butter and almond extract.
Pour over the dry ingredients and stir just enough to blend the wet into the dry.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
Arrange the apple wedges attractively over the batter, making a wider outer circles and a smaller inner circle; set aside.
Sprinkle the almond topping mixture over the apples.
Bake in the center of a 350 degree F oven until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
Let cool on a rack.
Release the side of the pan and serve with whipped cream.

Tips:

Use the right type of apples. For this recipe, use a combination of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. This will give the cake a balanced flavor.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Serve the cake at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to fully develop.
