Time 1h30m

Yield Eight to ten servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, plus butter for greasing the pan
8 small apples, peeled, cored and cut into eighths
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup ground walnuts
1/2 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • For the topping, melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in a medium-size cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and saute until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and the brown sugar in a small saucepan and stir over low heat until melted and well blended. Butter a 10-inch pan with 3-inch sides and spread the brown- sugar mixture in the bottom. Arrange the apple slices in the pan in concentric circles. Set aside.
  • For the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until light. Mix in the vanilla. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and walnuts. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just to combine. Spread the batter evenly over the apples. Bake until the cake springs back when touched in the center, about 1 hour. Let stand for 10 minutes and invert onto a cake plate. Let cool. Serve slightly warm.

I'm not a big fan of apple cake, but this one is really good. The apples are perfectly cooked and the cake is moist and flavorful.

This cake was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

This cake is a bit too dense for my taste. I would add more baking powder or baking soda next time.

This cake was a bit dry. I would add more butter or oil to the batter next time.

I had trouble getting the cake to come out of the pan in one piece. I think I needed to grease the pan more.

This cake is a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
