Some cakes are soft. Some are fruity. But this one? It’s almost more apple than cake — and that’s exactly why it’s so magical. 🍏

🌍 Origin and Cultural Significance
This kind of fruit-dense cake has roots in European farmhouse baking — especially French, German, and Eastern European traditions, where apples were folded into minimal batter to create rustic, humble desserts that made the most of seasonal harvests. 🍂
The style reflects a “less is more” approach — less sugar, less flour, more fruit, more flavor. It’s a celebration of seasonality, simplicity, and slow living, served in a slice.

🍰 Ingredients & Quantity
Serves 8–10 | Prep time: 15 min | Bake time: 45–50 min
🍎 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
🧈 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled slightly
🍚 3/4 cup sugar (can reduce to 1/2 cup for less sweet)
🥚 2 large eggs
🥄 1 tsp vanilla extract
🧂 1/4 tsp salt
🌾 1 tsp baking powder
🍚 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional but delicious)
🌾 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Yes — only 3/4 cup of flour to 4 apples. That’s the magic. ✨

➕ Optional Additions
A pinch of nutmeg or clove for warm spice
Add zest of 1 lemon or orange for brightness
Top with sliced almonds or walnuts for crunch
Dust with powdered sugar or a simple glaze
Swap some apples for pears or firm peaches

✅ Tips for Success
Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith — they hold their shape.
Don’t skip peeling the apples — it helps the cake stay soft.
Let the butter cool slightly before mixing with eggs to avoid scrambling.
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean — don’t overbake!
Let it rest before slicing — the flavors deepen as it cools.

🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract.
4. In a small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
5. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently — it will be thick.
6. Fold in chopped apples — the batter will barely coat them. That’s perfect.
7. Pour into prepared pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
9. Let cool 15–20 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

📖 Description
This cake is all about the fruit. Juicy chunks of apple are nestled in a thin, custardy, buttery batter that bakes into something almost like a cross between a cake and a clafoutis. 🍏
Each slice is tender, subtly sweet, and beautifully moist — with the apples stealing the show. It’s simple, rustic, and incredibly satisfying.
