Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
- 0.75 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Thoroughly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or pie dish with butter and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well-combined and smooth.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chopped apples and nuts. The batter will be thick and sticky, but this is expected.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the torte to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
