Old Fashioned Apple Cake
An old fashioned apple cake made with home-ground flour, apples and honey!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 C whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 C butter
- 1/2 C honey
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 C milk
- 2 C sliced apples
Instructions
- Butter a pie plate and set it aside.
- Dice 2 large apples into thin slices. Set aside.
- Fluff whole wheat flour with a whisk, then measure out.
- In a mixing bowl, measure out flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Whisk all 4 ingredients together.
- In a separate bowl, measure out butter and honey. Cream the two together.
- One at a time, add eggs to the creamed mixture. Make sure they're well combined!
- Measure out 3/4 C of milk.
- Take your creamed mixture and the milk. Alternate adding these two things to the dry ingredients, stirring a bit after each addition.
- When everything is combined and you have a cake batter, spoon 1/3 of it into your greased pie pan. Smooth.
- Take the diced apples and evenly spread them on top of the first layer of batter.
- The remaining batter can be gently spread on top of the apples. Level and smooth it out.
- Bake immediately in an oven warmed to 350F for approximately 30 minutes.
- Make sure you don't over-bake this one; pull it out of the oven just after the center has set and is no longer jiggly.
- Serve with whipped cream or perhaps a bit of hot applesauce!
