Yield Makes one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

Granulated sugar, for pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan, plus 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) cut into pieces
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
4 McIntosh apples (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored, and cut into 8 wedges
1 cup (1/2 pint) blackberries
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan, and dust with granulated sugar. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Whisk together melted butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, the milk, and eggs in another bowl. Whisk into flour mixture.
  • Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Arrange apple wedges over batter, and sprinkle with blackberries. Gently press fruit into batter. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and the cinnamon, and sprinkle over fruit. Dot with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Bake until top is dark gold, apples are tender, and a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Let cool. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

I'm not a fan of blackberries, so I used raspberries instead. It turned out great!

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used a nut-free granola for the crumb topping. It turned out great!

This cake was a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try using a sweeter variety of apples next time.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but I think I might have overbaked it. I'll try baking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly, but it still tasted good. I think I might have overmixed the batter.
