Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Mix until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 0.5 cups of whole milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the thinly sliced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the skillet with the melted butter. Gently spread it out into an even layer.
In a small bowl, make the streusel topping by combining 0.5 cups of brown sugar, 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups of chopped pecans or walnuts (if using), 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Mix with your fingers or a fork until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in the skillet.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar and serving warm.
