Categories     Fika

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 medium granny smith apples (peeled, cored and cut into ½ inch thick wedges (about 1 pound))
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon fine salt
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
¼ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 inch springform pan. Make the Apple Topping: Heat butter in a 12 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add apples and sauté until they are lightly caramelized, about 5-8 minutes. Add brown sugar and cinnamon and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and apples are evenly coated, about 1 more minute. Remove apples from the heat and set aside.
  • Make the cake: Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and cardamom together in a medium bowl and set aside. Whisk sugars and eggs together in a large bowl until fully combined. Slowly add melted butter to sugar and egg mixture and continue whisking until uniform in texture. Add sour cream and vanilla and whisk until fully combined. Add flour mixture and whisk until batter just comes together.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan and even out the top with a small offset spatula. Arrange apples over the top of the batter in two concentric circles. The apples should just touch each other but not overlap. Reserve the butter and sugar mixture that remains in the skillet. Transfer the cake to the oven and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, about 40-50 minutes.
  • Add a couple of teaspoons of water to the skillet along with the reserved butter and sugar mixture leftover from making the apple topping. Cook over medium heat until warm and syrupy in texture, about 1-2 minutes. Brush syrup over the top of the cake, particularly the apples. Cool cake for at least 20 minutes on a wire rack and serve.

FLUFFY SWEDISH APPLE CAKE



Fluffy Swedish Apple Cake image

This is a favorite cake in Sweden. It's a simple, buttery cake filled with cinnamon-sugar apple slices. It reminds me of a pound cake, but with a yummy apple cinnamon topping. The presentation is made really pretty by arranging the apple slices. You can serve this as a coffee cake or as a dessert. You can re-heat slices in the microwave if you like it warmed.

SWEDISH APPLE CAKE - APPELKAKA



Swedish Apple Cake - Appelkaka image

Posted for ZWT6 Scandinavian Region - Sweden. Oh boy does this sound heavenly. I can't wait to try it out. If you do not have biscotti you can process into crumbs they state you can use almond rusk crumbs, zwieback crumbs, or fine dry bread crumbs (even though I don't think I'd like the idea of bread crumbs - just my opinion).
