How to Make Apple No Pie Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Peel and core 4 medium Granny Smith apples. Dice into 1/2-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter.
  4. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pie plate.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a dollop of vanilla yogurt, a scoop of ice cream, or a few slices of cheese, as Grandma recommends!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
