Super Lazy Apple Cake
I found a bunch of “easy apple cake” recipes online, but they just weren’t easy enough for lazy old me and my unstocked kitchen. I just wanted something that I could make anytime without having to prepare for it, so here it is:
Ingredients
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c granulated sugar
2 apples, cored and peeled
1/2 c butter (1 stick), melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
OPTIONAL:
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp lemon juice (about a 1/4 wedge of lemon)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350℉, spray a 8x8 baking dish.
Either thinly slice or cube the apples. Add sugar and toss, let sit until the juices come out. Option here to add a bit of lemon juice and honey for taste.
Add butter, egg, and vanilla extract to apple mixture and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Once combined, mix into the wet ingredients until there are no more flour clumps.
Bake in oven for about 40 minutes, or lightly brown and knife comes out dry.
