ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs granny smith apples, cored and sliced
- 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons apple juice concentrate
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice, whatever you like in your pie
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2⁄3 cup milk, warm
- 1 large egg
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- coarse sugar (optional)
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Butter a 9 ½" to 10" (2" deep) cast-iron skillet; or a 9" square cake pan.
- Combine the apples with the brown sugar, apple juice concentrate (do not dilute), spices, and salt. Set aside.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix the warm milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture, stirring to combine. Pour into the prepared skillet.
- Spoon the apple mixture onto the batter. For the best appearance, make sure the apples are distributed a little more heavily towards the edges of the pan.
- Sprinkle with coarse sparkling sugar, if desired.
- Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, till it's light brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven, and cool for about 5 minutes.
- Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan, and cool for another 20 minutes or so.

I made as directed but had to use a 10" square cake tin and it was cooked in 40 minutes in a 160C fan forced oven. We found the cake to be a little dry but made a pleasant dessert though I would advise that you serve this cake warm as it certainly looses something when it goes cold. Thank you Pa Hiker, made for ZAAR Chef Alphabet Soup.Reply
