How to Make Raw Apple Cake

  1. Peel, core, and slice 4 medium apples (about 2 pounds total).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with 1 cup granulated sugar. Gently toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, allowing the apples to release their juices.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Fold in the macerated apples and their juices.
  8. Pour batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  9. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  10. Serve chilled. Enjoy!
