APPLE BREAKFAST CAKE

Apple Breakfast Cake image

A quick yummy dish for brunch. Original recipe from Sunset October 2009 but I added the bacon and cheese on top. I don't have an ovenproof skillet so I cooked the butter, sugar, cinnamon and apples in a saucepan, poured the egg mixture in a greased 8" square glass casserole and poured the apple mixture on top. It worked fine. It'll serve six if you have other dishes available or armed guards at the buffet table.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 sweet apple, peeled and sliced thinly (Gala or Fuji)
3 large eggs
6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
4 ounces cheddar cheese, thinly sliced (optional)

Steps:

Peheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Melt butter in a 12 inch ovenproof frying pan over high heat.
Add brown sugar and cinnamon, swirling to combine.
Add apple slices and cook until just starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
In a blender, whirl together eggs, bacon, salt, flour and milk.
Pour egg mixture into pan and bake until puffed and brown, about 15 minutes.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and powdered sugar.
Top with cheese, optional.

Tips:

Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are good for baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. These apples hold their shape well and have a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a bundt pan with a removable bottom: This will make it easier to remove the cake from the pan.
Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.

This breakfast apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a sweet and tangy glaze. It's a great way to use up leftover apples, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
