Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 120 g (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 120 ml (½ cup) milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 280 g (2¼ cups) all-purpose flour
- 7 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- Optional additions: 1 tsp vanilla extract, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round or square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Make the Batter
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and slightly frothy (about 2–3 minutes).
Add the melted butter and milk, mixing well.
Stir in the baking powder, then gradually add the flour, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
Optional: Add vanilla, cinnamon, or lemon zest for extra flavor.
3. Add the Apples
Gently fold the thinly sliced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
Tip: Toss the apple slices in a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning and add brightness.
4. Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool & Serve
Let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm or chilled with a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
