Categories     Cake     Fruit     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Apple     Tree Nut     Pecan     Potluck     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tart cooking apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
1 cup pecan pieces
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • 1 Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish.
  • 2 Whisk together the flour and baking powder in a small bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and salt until blended and frothy. While whisking vigorously, slowly add the sugar and whisk until thick. Stir in the apples, pecans, and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture, stirring well to incorporate the dry ingredients.
  • 3 Scrape the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Bake until the top crust is browned and the filling is bubbly around the edges, about 40 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving hot or at room temperature with the whipped cream.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a blend of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cake. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • The cake can also be served cold. If you're serving it cold, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Ozark apple cake is a classic American dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a sweet-tart apple filling. It's the perfect cake to serve for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday dinner.
