EASY-AS-PIE APPLE CAKE
The name of this cake is somewhat deceiving, since most apple cakes are easier than pie (which is actually never that easy if you're making it from scratch). In any case, it's a simple, excellent cake with a tender crumb, subtle spicing and soft pockets of fruit. Serve it plain, or with a dollop of ice cream, whipped cream or crème fraîche.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
- In a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the egg and mix until smooth.
- With the mixer on low, beat in dry ingredients until smooth (at this point the batter will be quite thick). Fold in the apples and nuts by hand.
- Spread batter evenly into a greased and floured 9-inch fluted tart or quiche pan with 1-inch sides. (Alternatively you can use a 9-inch cake pan with 1-inch sides.) Bake until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out really dense. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

[email protected]The cake was a bit dry. I think I should have added more butter or oil to the batter.

[email protected]This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

[email protected]I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts for a cup of chopped dried cranberries. It was still delicious!

[email protected]I added a cup of chopped walnuts to the batter and it gave the cake a nice crunch. I also used a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, which gave the filling a great flavor.
