SWEDISH APPLE CAKE
This is a super easy, super tasty recipe that my mom used to make all of the time when I was a kid. This is a wonderful dessert (or even breakfast) in the fall--though it is more like a cobbler then a cake (the more apples you use, the more cobbler-like)! Also, I'm not sure that it really is a Swedish recipe as it was shared by a Greek neighbor, but it is still great! Update: I realize that it seems strange, but this recipe really doesn't need extra leavening--I have double-checked a number of times as it seems like it should have some! Though I don't think it would hurt to add some... :-)

SWEDISH APPLE CAKE (SOCKERKAKA MED APPLEN)
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour pan, preferably an 8½-inch or 9-inch spring form pan. Sift together flour and baking powder. Set aside. In a medium-sized mixing bowl beat butter until light. Gradually beat in sugar until fluffy. Beat in first egg, then second egg. Beat in ¼ cup of flour mixture, then third egg. Slowly mix in remaining flour mixture, alternating with the ¼ cup of milk or water. Pour into prepared pan and smooth top. Peel apples; core and cut each into 6 to 8 wedges. Mix the ½ cup sugar with cinnamon. Roll apple wedges in cinnamon sugar and press wedges into cake batter all over the entire cake. Sprinkle any remaining cinnamon sugar over the top of the cake, and if desired strew a few slivered almonds over the top (optional). Bake approximately 1 - 1¼ hours, more or less, depending on pan size, until cake tests done when a cake tester is inserted in the center of the cake. Cool briefly, then remove from pan.
SWEDISH APPLE PIE
I won 1st place in an apple bake-off contest with this recipe. It is the easiest and best apple pie I have ever tasted. It has no crust, believe me, it doesn't need one. I always use Granny Smith apples because they are the best apples for pies. Enjoy!!!!

Tips:
- Use a variety of apples: Different apples have different flavors and textures, so using a mix of varieties will give your cake a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Peel and core the apples before slicing them: This will make it easier to slice the apples evenly and will also prevent the skins from becoming tough in the cake.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly in the cake. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will give the flavors time to develop and will also make it easier to slice the cake.
