1 1/2lbs (about 4)Apples(peeled, cored, and chopped into small bite-size pieces)
2TablespoonsSugar
Cake Batter:
2largeEggs
3/4cupSugar
1TablespoonVanilla
3/4cupFlour
1teaspoonBaking Powder
1/2teaspoonSalt
Whipped Cream:
1 1/2cupsHeavy Cream
1/3cupPowdered Sugar
Instructions
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and stir with a wooden spoon. Add chopped apples and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until apples are softened. Set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together eggs, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add browned butter apple mixture. Fold in flour, baking powder, and salt.
Spray springform pan or 9-inch cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour batter into pan. Bake for 30-38 minutes or until a light golden brown color forms on the top and the cake is done in the middle. *The top can become a little brown so may want to cover with foil the last 10 minutes of baking.* Set aside to cool.
To make whipped cream: whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and whip for 30 seconds longer.
Remove cake from springform pan. If using a cake pan, carefully invert the cake onto a cooling rack, and gently flip the cake over and place right-side-up on a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar. Cut into slices and serve with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
Use baking apples such as Granny Smith, Fuji, or Gala
