How to Make Apple Cake Top

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups peeled and sliced apples, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, and 6 whole cloves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and cook until apples are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
3. While apples cook, grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
4. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Beat in 1 large egg.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup milk. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
7. Pour the cooked apples into the prepared baking dish. Pour the batter evenly over the apples.
8. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, custard – or all three!
