Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/3 granulated sugar divided use, cups
- 2 egg lightly beaten, large
- 8 tablespoons butter 1 stick, melted, unsalted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- lemon juice of half
- 3 to 4 apple tart, such as granny smith
- 1 tablespoon honey
- cooking spray
- Whipped Cream or ice cream; for serving if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1 cup sugar and salt. Stir in the eggs, butter and vanilla. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Squeeze lemon juice into a medium bowl. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into the bowl. Add the cinnamon and sugar and toss to thoroughly coat each apple slice.
- Arrange the apple slices on top of the batter in overlapping rows, pressing lightly into the batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Brush the top of the cake with the honey. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Choose tart apples for this recipe. The tartness works well with the sweetness of the cake and honey.
- Use an offset spatula to smooth your batter in a baking pan.
- Little helpers might enjoy tossing apple slices in cinnamon sugar and placing them on your cake.
