Apple Skillet Cake

Apple Skillet Cake

I find these skillet cake recipes absolutely brilliant. I've tested lately the apple cake. It came as a natural consequence after the marble cake success. They are both wonderful, make a note of them and try them out! Of course the oven isn't a problem now, but what if you were baking lunch/dinner in the oven and you suddenly felt like eating an apple cake, too? My solution to this is this apple skillet cake, very easy to cook, quick, soft and tasty.

Of course, it's not an exquisite work of art, it's merely a fluffy sponge cake with apples which, I can assure you, will be enjoyed with great appetite. If you top it with some whipped cream/just cream, it will easily turn into a quick cake!

You can use any size of skillet to cook this cake - but just so you know, the cake will be higher in the 24-26cm skillet and lower in the 28cm skillet. The tip with the parchment paper is great for flipping the cake, keep it in mind for when cooking an omelette, too...

Ingredients

Apples
1 piece
Egg
2 pieces

White flour

Step 1

Cut the apple in half and core it.

Cut one of the halves into thin slices, cut the other one into small cubes.

Step 2

Grease the (non-heated) skillet with a little butter or oil and sprinkle over 1 tbsp sugar. 

Shake the skillet for the sugar to spread evenly.

I used a medium sized skillet, 24cm in diameter. A 26cm skillet would also be suitable for these quantities.

After that you'll notice that the side turns slightly brown and the batter on top is not sticky any more. It's time to flip it over.

Now take the cake together with the baking paper and return to the skillet for another 5 minutes over low heat.

Step 16

Here are the same ingredients, but I used a 28cm skillet. The height is perfect, but it may need some more apple slices at the base. Anyway, I think this is the best version.

Enjoy!
