Author Notes
I think this recipe started out as America's Test Kitchen recipe that has been modified over time. It's delicious - a tasty apple cake with a custard layer, and it's not too sweet. Most recently I barely got to take the picture before my family tore into it! Enjoy. —Leith Devine
Ingredients
-
6
apples, peeled and sliced
-
2 tablespoons
Grand Marnier
-
2 teaspoons
lemon juice
-
1 cup
2 TB flour
-
1/2 cup
brown sugar
-
1/4 cup
1 TB white sugar
-
2 teaspoons
baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt
-
1
egg
-
2
egg yolks
-
1 cup
melted butter
-
1 cup
milk 2% or whole
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla
-
1 1/2 teaspoons
cinnamon
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a springform pan with cooking spray.
-
Peel and slice the apples into a bowl. Microwave them until softened, about 5-6 minutes, stirring halfway through. When done add Grand Marnier and lemon juice and set aside to cool.
-
In a small bowl mix 1 cup flour, brown sugar (make sure there are no lumps), 1/4 cup white sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl with an electric mixer combine the egg, melted butter, milk, vanilla and 1 tsp of the cinnamon. Add the flour mixture and combine. Remove 1 cup of the batter.
-
Add the egg yolks to the large bowl and combine. Add the apples. The batter will be thin, don't worry!
-
Add the 2 TB of flour to the 1 cup of batter you've set aside and whisk to combine.
-
Put the contents of the large bowl with the apples into the springform pan. Put the remaining 1 cup of batter on top of the apple layer and carefully spread. The top layer is thick but it will spread with a knife or the back of a spoon.
-
Combine 1 TB sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and sprinkle over the top.
-
Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, a knife. should come out clean when inserted. Dust with powdered sugar. I serve this with whipped cream.
