Best Easy Apple Cake Recipe 

When I want something sweet and comforting, I remember the cakes of my childhood. I thought I’d do it and show you too the best easy apple cake recipe, with cinnamon and fresh apples.

After I showed you non-baking recipes like raspberry cheesecake or frying dessert recipe like doughnuts or filling crepes, this will be a baked recipe. But you will see, it is an easy recipe.

As you know, the apple cake is a popular recipe, which has two main ingredients, dough and of course apples.

Let’s See the Ingredients

We need first of all apples, I used about 1.5 kg of red, juicy and flavoured apples. This is the basic ingredient and will be the filling between the two sheets of dough.

I used 150 g of caster sugar on apples, but if your apples are sweeter, you can reduce the amount of sugar. We will also flavour the apples with vanilla sugar and cinnamon.

We will make a simple dough, without yeast and which does not require sifting, for which I used half a kilogram of wheat flour.

We also need 250 g of unsalted butter, which I cut into cubes.

The following ingredients will be two whole eggs, about 100 g powdered sugar and a teaspoon of baking powder.

Let’s See Step by Step the Best Easy Apple Cake Recipe

You will see that the recipe is simple and very easy to make. For the beginning, we prepare the apples. To do this, we wash and clean the peel.

After I peel them off, I give them on the big grater.

Add the sugar and the juice from half a lemon (to keep a little colour) and set aside, to release its juice. During this time we can make the dough.

Make the Dough

To do this, in a larger bowl, put the wheat flour, sugar and baking powder, and mix. Now we can add butter.

Knead the butter well in the flour, with two hands, until it is incorporated into the flour and obtain coarse dust.

We are going to add eggs, but before I like to beat them, to incorporate evenly.

Now pour the beaten eggs over the dough.

Knead the composition until we obtain a uniform dough. This should not take more than 5 minutes.

I did it by hand, but whoever wants it can use an electric dough mixer.

Now we make the dough sheets and for this, we move the dough on a work surface, on which we spread a little wheat flour.

We cut the dough into two parts, from each we will spread a sheet.

From each half of dough, we will spread a sheet, after the size of the tray in which we bake the cake.

Put it Together the Cake

We put the first dough sheet in the baking pan, cut the edges in surplus and with a fork prick the dough from place to place.

We are going to add apples. For this, we squeeze well the grated apples off the left juice, so as not to soak the dough sheet.

Add the vanilla sugar and cinnamon powder to the apple.

Mix and add the apples over the first sheet of dough.

We would sit on top of the second sheet of dough, cut the edges that were extra, and just prick with a fork from place to place. With a kitchen brush, grease the dough with a beaten egg, and place the pan in the preheated oven at 160 degrees.

Bake the cake until it turns a golden colour, about 35-40 minutes.

As it is hot, we sprinkle the powdered sugar on top and allow it to cool completely.

See how easy it is? This is the best easy apple cake recipe, from my childhood.

How to Served the Apple Cake?

After it has cooled, we cut not too large pieces, because they are very grainy, and place them on a plate.

If needed, you can sprinkle more powdered sugar on top.
