Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons (3 oz) unsalted butter at room temperature, plus more for the pan
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for the pan
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 to 3 apples peeled, cored, and thickly sliced
- confectioners’ sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Coat a 9-inch springform pan with butter and dust with flour, tapping out any excess.
- In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a bowl using a hand mixer, beat the butter until creamy. With the mixer running, slowly add the sugar and continue beating until fluffy.
- Plop in the egg and beat until combined, then mix in the vanilla.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk to the bowl in 3 batches, beating after each addition.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Starting at the outside of the pan, stand the apple slices on their narrow end in the batter to form a circle, fitting them as snugly as you can. Fill in the center of the circle with as many slices as will fit.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake--not the apples--comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack, unlatch the pan, remove the adjustable sides, and allow the cake to cool.
- Sprinkle confectioners’ sugar over the cake just before serving, if desired.

Notes
- Storage and freezing--The cake can be stored, wrapped in plastic, at room temperature for up to 3 days. The cooked and cooled cake can be frozen for up to 3 months, wrapped in foil or plastic. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Apple slices--Keep your apple slices approximately the same thickness so that they'll bake evenly.
- Selecting your apples--Since there are no spices added to this cake, the apple flavor really shines. Choose good-quality apples without any bruising or soft spots.
