EASY CRANBERRY & APPLE CAKE (INA GARTEN) RECIPE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Combine the cranberries, apple, brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. With the mixer on medium, add 1 cup of the granulated sugar, the butter, vanilla, and sour cream and beat just until combined. On low speed, slowly add the flour and salt. Pour the fruit mixture evenly into a 10-inch glass pie plate. Pour the batter over the fruit, covering it completely. Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle it over the batter. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until a tooth-pick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean and the fruit is bubbling around the edges. Serve warm or at room temperature. Note: This dessert can be tangy, if your palate is sensitive to cranberries. I'd suggest either cutting back on how many cranberries you use, or increasing the sugar a bit. This cake would be delicious with most any kind of fruit, and even just all apple would be great. Adding granulated sugar gives a nice crunchy texture to the cake.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For this recipe, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best. They hold their shape well and provide a nice contrast to the sweet cranberries.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries give the cake the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them before using.
- Don't overcook the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overcooking the cake can dry it out.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.
Conclusion:
This Cranberry Apple Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tart apples and sweet cranberries complement each other perfectly, and the cake is moist and flavorful. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor combination, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
