Ingredients for Amy S Apple Cake

  • 4 medium apples (about 6 cups, peeled and sliced)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar + ¼ cup packed light brown sugar

  • Vanilla Extract
  • All Purpose Flour

How to Make Amy S Apple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Peel and slice 4 medium apples (about 6 cups). In a large bowl, combine the apples with 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ¼ cup brown sugar. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Add ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the apple mixture. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
