Italian apple cake is a rustic cake made with a simple batter topped with apple slices, sugar, and melted butter. The batter, made from egg yolks beaten with sugar, melted butter, milk, and flour, is simply poured into a pan and topped with apples. It bakes for about 35 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F), with a total preparation and baking time of 40 minutes. Serve it with Sunday coffee or as a homemade alternative to a pastry-shop dessert.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Set aside 3 tbsp of the sugar for sprinkling over the cake, then beat the remaining sugar with the egg yolks. Melt the butter and pour 1/2 of it into the beaten egg yolks.
Add the milk, flour, and baking powder and mix thoroughly. Grease a baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper, then pour in the batter.
Peel the apples, cut them into slices, and arrange them over the batter. Sprinkle with the reserved sugar and drizzle with the remaining melted butter.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for a little over half an hour, about 35 minutes.

Tip: Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles from the edge toward the center, overlapping each slice halfway over the previous one. Pour the butter over a spoon to distribute it over all the slices.
