Apple Pie Cake

This Apple Pie Cake resembles the taste of an apple pie, but without the hard work!

I love Apple Pie, but sometimes (most of the time) I'm a little lazy and like to make things easier.

So I was trying to find recipes that resemble the taste of apple pie, but without the hard work, and here, my friends, is the solution to my problem 🙂

Ingredients for this Apple Pie Cake recipe

You need the ingredients in 3 groups: for the apple mixture, for the batter and for the topping.

Apple Mixture:

• apples
• brown sugar
• cinnamon
• lemon juice

Batter:

• all-purpose flour
• sugar
• baking powder
• salt
• unsalted butter
• egg
• milk

Topping:

• all-purpose flour
• brown sugar
• salt
• unsalted butter
• powdered sugar

How to make this cake

• Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
• In a medium bowl gently stir together apple mixture ingredients and set aside.
• In another bowl make the topping: stir together flour, brown sugar and the salt. With a pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
• Now for the batter: Place flour into a bowl. Add sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix well.
• In another bowl mix butter, egg and milk. Add liquid all at once to dry ingredients. Stir until mixture is combined - but batter should look a little lumpy.
• Pour batter into a prepared round cake pan.
• Spread apple mixture evenly over cake batter. Sprinkle topping evenly over apple mixture.
• Bake for around 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
