Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 500 grams Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Toss the sliced apples in a bowl with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan. Arrange the apple slices on top of the batter in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping them.
Bake the torte in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the torte to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before releasing the springform. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
