Description
A magical dessert featuring thinly sliced apples and a light batter that creates an ‘invisible’ texture, perfect for autumn gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium apples (firm variety like Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, or Honeycrisp)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp sliced almonds (for topping)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan or an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples very thinly. Place slices in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with both sugars until pale and slightly fluffy, about 1–2 minutes.
- Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla to the egg-sugar mixture and whisk until combined.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt. Whisk gently until smooth.
- Fold the apple slices into the batter, ensuring each slice is coated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing lightly to arrange apples into neat layers.
- Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Remove from oven and cool completely in the pan before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Serve with crème fraîche, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of honey for enhanced flavor.
