If you're looking for a super easy apple dessert to make, you should try this French Apple Cake! This one-bowl cake only takes about 5 minutes to mix up the batter, and its so buttery and amazing.
With it being the first week of September, that means one thing for me. Summer is over and its time to focus on fall desserts. A lot of people think of pumpkin when it comes to fall, but early fall is all about apples! And if you love apple picking, or just going and buying all the apples at the local farmers market like I do, you will need plenty of recipes to use these apples in.
Made with fresh apples and a light, buttery batter, it combines classic French flavors with a delicate texture. The apples soften as they bake, creating a moist, tender crumb that pairs well with a warm cup of coffee or tea. Unlike more complicated desserts, this French Apple Cake is easy to make, even for beginners. With just a few pantry staples and seasonal apples, you can whip up this treat in no time.
The golden, caramelized top adds a beautiful finish, making it an ideal apple dessert for dinner parties or family gatherings. Plus, it's versatile enough to serve with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Whether you're a fan of French cuisine or just love apple desserts, this French Apple Cake recipe is sure to become a favorite in your home.
A light, delicious apple cake that can be made in 1 bowl.
1 cup All-purpose Flour
½ cup and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons rum (or 1 teaspoon rum extract)
2 Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored and diced
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray, set aside. (you can also line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for extra easy removal from the pan)
In a large bowl whisk together flour, ½ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs and rum to the bowl and mix until just incorporated and no streaks of flour remain.
Fold the diced apple into the batter.
Spread the batter into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sugar over the top of the cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
