Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1.25 cups boiling water
- 0.25 cup caramel sauce (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square or round baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the brown sugar layer. Do not stir; this will create the caramel sauce as it bakes.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Remove from the oven and let the cake rest for 5-10 minutes. The cake will have a pudding-like caramel sauce at the bottom.
Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top, if desired. Pair with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
