Categories     dessert

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup whole milk
4 baking apples (about 2 lbs. total), cored, peeled, and cut into wedges
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Butter a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and sea salt, and stir to blend. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, oil, and milk, and stir until well blended. Add the apples and stir to thoroughly coat them with the batter.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared cake pan. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake until fairly firm and golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine the sugar, egg, and melted butter, and stir to blend. Set it aside.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and pour the topping mixture over it. Return the cake to the oven and bake until the top is a deep golden brown and the cake feels quite firm when pressed with a fingertip, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the cake pan to a rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the sides of the pan, and release and remove the springform side, leaving the cake on the pan base. Serve at room temperature, cut into thin wedges.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
2 large golden delicious apples, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped (Jonagold, or other baking apple are also good)
1 1/2 tablespoons calvados (apple brandy)
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2/3 cup plain yogurt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Generously grease an 8-inch round cake pan (no need to grease if pan is nonstick).
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the apples, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the Calvados, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and the cinnamon. Set aside until needed.
  • Whisk together the yogurt and the remaining sugar in a large bowl, until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Combine the flour and baking soda, then add the oil and eggs, whisking well after each addition. Stir the apple pieces into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Set on a sturdy baking sheet and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  • Note: The cake is best made several hours before serving, or better yet, the night before.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Bramley for the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and core the apples thinly: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry: This will make the gateau light and flaky.
  • Roll out the pastry thinly: This will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Chill the pastry before baking: This will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from shrinking.
  • Bake the gateau at a high temperature: This will help it to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Dust the gateau with icing sugar before serving: This will give it a professional finish.

Conclusion:

Apple gateau is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a stunning apple gateau that will impress your friends and family.
