You only need one apple for this Dutch Apple Cake.It is a quick and easy dessert to put together, and the perfect dessert for a chilly fall day.
John and I took advantage of the day and went on a walk. The weather was cool and a bit windy. By the time we got back, I was bitten by the baking bug and craving a baked apple dessert and had my sights set on this Dutch Apple Cake.
With just the two of us, sometimes the challenge is making something that doesn’t go to waste because it makes more than the two of us can eat. I remembered a recipe for Dutch Apple Cake that I wanted to try some time ago. One apple, and it is baked in an 8×8 pan so none of it would go to waste.
This cake is perfect when you want something that isn’t too filling. It isn’t overly sweet but is tender and delicious.
This cake is great served warm with a little cream or a dollop of ice cream. (I used ice cream for investigational purposes). This cake came out so moist, and the top was delicious with that little sugar crunch.

You only need one apple for this Dutch Apple Cake. It is a quick and easy dessert to put together, and the perfect dessert for a chilly fall day.
6ouncescaster sugarsuperfine, plus 1/2 ounce extra for sprinkling
1/2teaspoonvanilla extract
6tablespoonsbutter
2 1/2ouncesmilk
4 1/2ouncesall-purpose flour
1/2teaspoonground cinnamon
2 1/4teaspoonsbaking powder
2small or 1 large apples
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
Using a hand held mixer, beat the eggs, 6 ounces sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl until the mixture is thick. This will take about 5 minutes.
Melt the butter and milk together in a saucepan. Drizzle the mixture over the egg mixture, stirring or beating on low continuously. Sift in the flour, cinnamon and baking powder, and fold carefully into the batter until no lumps remain. Pour the batter into the lined pan.
Peel, core and thinly slice enough apple to line the top of the batter. Apples will sink and that's o.k. because they are supposed to. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top.
Bake for 10 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Apples always reminds me of fall, which is my favorite time of year.

[…] Two days back I came across this beautiful recipe at Julie’s delicious blog and knew I had to bake it immediately. The ingredients were all available at home so there was no excuse to not try it. As expected it turned out very well. The fragrance of cinnamon and apples wafting out of the kitchen made the already ravenous family so impatient that they didn’t wait till I got my camera and my green tea. The cake was gone in minutes. What you can see below is the last slice of the Dutch Apple Cake. I know the picture didn’t come out well but the cake was extra ordinary. Thank you Julie for sharing. For the recipe please hop onto Julie’s blog […]
