    This delightfully delicious apple cake topped with almonds recipe is a great treat any day of the week! Another super way to use some of those apples sitting around, other than fabulous, homemade applesauce...and that applesauce could also be combined into this recipe for a real kick to the apple flavor!

    Apple Cake Topped with Almonds Recipe
    Delicious apples throughout and topping the cake, also topped with sliced almonds.

    This is definitely one of those desserts that just doesn't stand a chance of lasting long in our household, and best of all, you don't feel guilty for eating it. I've justified it as there is no streusel topping, no frosting, no icing...and I really did make it for the kids so its totally OK, right?!

    Apple Cake Topped with Almonds Recipe ingredients
    Apple Cake ingredients - eggs, apples, sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and almonds.

    You will need eggs, sugar, butter, water, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest, flour, baking powder, apples, lemon juice and almond slices (or substitute with your favorite chopped or sliced nuts). For your baking dish, a 10 inch springform pan with a removable base is recommended. Butter your baking pan thoroughly and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    In a a large mixing bowl or your stand mixer bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs and continue to combine thoroughly before adding water, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Zest your lemon end then set aside the lemon for using the juice with the apple slices. Add the lemon zest and baking powder.

    Apple Cake sliced and served
    Apple Cake sliced and served with vanilla bean ice cream and drizzled with caramel.

    Blend the mixture until the newly added ingredients are completely blended into the creamed butter, sugar and eggs. Add flour and combine so that all of the flour has been incorporated into the wet batter. Set aside your batter and prepare your apples.

    When slicing apples, have the lemon juice from the zested lemon ready to sprinkle over the chunks and slices of apples to prevent browning. Use two of the three apples to slice and cut into chunks, sprinkle the chunks with lemon juice as you cut up the apples. When you are done with the first two apples, add the chunked apple pieces into the batter and transfer to your buttered springform pan.

    Slice the third and last apple into slices for arranging onto the top of the batter. Sprinkle slices with lemon juice as well, then place onto the top of the batter in a spiral arrangement. Add sliced or chopped almonds by sprinkling over the top of the batter and apple slices, then bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown and your knife comes out clean when testing the center of the cake. Slice and serve, enjoy in the morning with your coffee or pair it with ice cream!

      Daar ik deze appeltaart in deze vorm nog niet bereid heb, wel met iets meer toevoegingen en andere type van appels NL: meer zoet-zuur.
      De stukken gesneden appels licht gemarineerd met basterdsuiker en wat kaneel. Dit geeft een prettig mondgevoel.
      Ik zou zeggen: Je bent op de goede weg en ga zo verder.
      Op dit ogenblik ben ik op zoek naar lekkere recepten over "lekkere bereiding van: garnalen, gamba's en kreeften" toegepast in Ravioli's of dimsim.

      Mijn complimenten:
      Alles is zeer prettig en begrijpelijk beschreven met uitleg!

      Het recept heb ik nog niet uitgeprobeerd en zal het zeker doen als het wat kouder wordt, dus in de wintermaanden.
      Een reactie zal ik zeker geven; gezien de genoemde te gebruiken ingrediënten.
      Gezegd mag worden dat ik van lekker houd, echter met mate en niet te veel van eten.
