No Reviews
Servings: 6
Prep Time: 20
Cook Time: 30-40
Ingredients
6 Tablespoons Butter
1/4 teaspoon Seasoning - Salt
1 1/4 Apples, PEELED, SLICED INTO 12 PIECES
1/2 teaspoon Lemons, zest
2 Eggs, room temp
1 c + 2T Flour - All Purpose
Sugar - Confectioners
1 3/4 c divided Sugar - White
1/2 t Baking Powder
1/3 c Sour Cream
1/2 t Vanilla Extract
Cooking Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Generously butter a 9-inch glass pie dish and arrange the apples in
the dish, cut side down.
Combine 1 cup of the granulated sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small
saucepan and cook over high heat until it turns a warm amber color,
about 360 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Swirl the pan but don't
stir. Pour evenly over the apple slices.
Meanwhile, cream the 6 tablespoons of butter and the remaining 3/4
cup of granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with
the paddle attachment, until light and fluffy. Lower the speed and
beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the sour cream, zest, and vanilla
and mix until combined. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and
salt and, with the mixer on low speed, add it to the butter mixture.
Mix only until combined.
Pour the cake batter evenly over the apple slices and bake for 30 to
40 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes,
then invert the cake onto a flat plate. If an apple slice sticks,
ease it out and replace it in the design on top of the cake. Serve
warm or at room temperature, dusted with confectioners' sugar.
