Super Easy Apple Cake à La Mode

by Irene Tibbits
serves 12

4 ounces butter, or ½ cup

4 ounces sugar, or approximately a scant ½ cup

2 eggs

5 ounces flour, or approximately 1¼ cups

1 teaspoon baking powder

4 small apples

1 tablespoon cinnamon

¼ cup nuts, chopped

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Vanilla ice cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt the butter and stir with sugar and eggs. Stir in flour and baking powder.

Grease a round springform pan.

Clean apples and cut into wedges. Divide them into the mold and sprinkle with cinnamon. Spread cake mixture over the apples. Sprinkle with nuts and brown sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until golden on top.

Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or vanilla quark.

This is not a sweet cake on its own so it pairs well with ice cream.
