1/2 Cup Butter, softened

1 Cup Sugar, granulated

2 Eggs, large

1 Cup All Purpose Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

2 Pink Lady Apples, Large

3 Tablespoons Sugar, granulated (extra)

Cut and place parchment in bottom of 8” round spring form pan.  Spray with baking spray or butter the tin.  Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Cream butter and sugar in mixer until smooth.  Add eggs one at a time until well combined.  Sift flour and baking powder together and add to the bowl.  Beat just long enough to incorporate. Pour batter into form pan and smooth out to edges and level across. 

Peel and core apples into quarters.  Then, slice apples into 1/8” slices.  Lay apple slices in a circle around pan on top of dough in decorative pattern tightly together and 2 layers deep.  Chop remaining pieces into cubes and place in center of cake filling the hole. 

Sprinkle the extra sugar over the apples evenly.  Bake for approximately 50 minutes until cake is cooked and apples are golden brown on top.  Allow to cool and remove from spring form pan.  Serve with ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream.  Serves 8-10. 

American Apple Cake

Streusel Topping

3 Cups All Purpose Flour

1 Cup Sugar, brown, packed

1/2 Cup Sugar, white, granulated

1 Teaspoon Salt

2 Teaspoons Cinnamon

1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg

1 Cup Butter, softened

1-1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Cake Batter

1/2 Cup Butter, soft

1 Cup Sugar, granulated, white

2 Large Eggs

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 Cup Greek Yogurt, nonfat, no sugar added

2 Cups All Purpose Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

2 Large Pink Lady Apples, peeled, cored, and 1/4" dice

Cut and place parchment in bottom of 8” round spring form pan.  Spray with baking spray or butter the tin.  Preheat the oven to 350°F. and prepare apples.

Prepare Streusel topping by adding all ingredients to mixing bowl and gently mix until all is well mixed.  Remove streusel from mixing bowl and place in another container for now.

Cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add all wet ingredients and mix well.  Sift all try ingredients together, and then carefully add to wet and mix only until combined.  Add apples and stir by hand until well folded in.

Add half the batter with apples to the spring form pan and smooth out to edges and flat across.  Add half the streusel topping and smooth to edges and flat across.  Repeat both layers again, but to not flatten streusel topping.  Leave it fluffy and draw a spiral in it with your finger.

Bake for 75 minutes and check for doneness by inserting toothpick in.  No batter should stick.  Most likely this will need to cook for 90 minutes total.  Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 1 hour before attempting to remove from the pan.  Best if left to cool overnight.  Serve for breakfast or with ice cream or whipped cream for dessert.  Serves 10-12.
