Rustic Apple Cake
This Rustic Apple Cake is just something else. I am so glad I have just made this because I think that has become one of my favorite apple recipes.
I just made this rustic apple cake and it is almost gone. Oh my…this is just superb!
It is simple and extremely easy to put together, like many of my other desserts, so… WINNER, WINNER, chicken dinner.
I really love apple pie, apple cake, pretty much anything to do with apples so this cake sure happen to be a winner for us.
I was thinking that you could probably use pears and maybe some other type of fruit if you like. I always try to think of ways you can improve/alter recipes.
There is not much I can say about this cake but just that it will be a repeat for us very soon!! I am so glad I made this after so long ago……
Enjoy!
Make sure all of the apples are covered with the batter like in the picture. You can sprinkle some confectioner’s sugar when the cake cools or leave it as is.

Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil, coconut oil will also work
2 organic eggs
3/4 cup unrefined sugar, you can try 1/2 cup instead
1 teaspoon vanilla
extract
3-4 apples, thinly sliced

1/2 cup low fat milk
powdered sugar, optional
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour a 9 inch round pan.
In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar for 2-3 minutes. I do this with the hand mixer.
Stir in oil, and vanilla and combine. Then stir in flour and baking powder alternating with the milk. Stir in apples, coating every piece with batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 55-65 minutes or until cake pulls away from pan and is brown on top, like in the picture.
Cool for 20-30 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar if desired.

Myriam…me encanta el pastel que has hecho…dices que con cualquier otra fruta sirve…tengo alguna pera abandonada que me parece ya se como voy a usar….realmente una delicia.
feliz fin de semana. besos
Me encantan los pasteles de manzana, las tartas, los bizcochos… lo que sea de manzana. Y este que además es rústico… pues tiene un aspecto super tentador. Una maravilla.
I am so amazed with this one. Now, I am planning of making it. I am so excited. Thanks a lot for sharing this nice cake recipe.

Wow the top of that cake looks AMAZING, but I can’t put a finger on why…will definitely be making this soon, have a major apple glut at the moment (Southern hemisphere!)
Hola,es diferente y fácil y riquísimo.
I’m making this today. :) So much easier than pie! I’m going to try it with some apples I canned this past fall.
This is really good! I don’t think I had quite as many apples as you did (I used what amounted to just over half a quart once I poured off the liquid and they were packed down)… I couldn’t see them through the top of the batter but it was still fantastic! Mine came out with kind of a custard like flavor but yet it was cakey, if that makes any sense. Definitely a keeper. I’m going to try using peaches next time. :)
Patti,
cool, I am glad you like it. I will probably make it soon again. We loved it as well and by the way with peaches I bet is also fantastic!!
this looks so pretty. apples and skillet, yum. i love thisssss! i had this and a couple other recipes bookmarked to go back to and just say how much i lovvvvve it! ha, thank you for sharing!

I just made this tonight. I couldn’t find whole wheat pastry flour at the market, so I just used regular all purpose flour and also sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on the top before baking. It was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for the recipe.
Hello,
The pie looks so so nice! I wonder could I use almond milk instead?
Thanks
For sure :-) Thanks for visiting.
I made this cake last night and by this morning we had polished it all off. Thank you for sharing the recipe, we all loved it. I did substitute buckwheat flour for the whole wheat flour with great results.
That is an excellent substitution. Thanks for letting me know. I am glad the cake was a success :-) Thanks for visiting my blog.
Hola ya tengo mi pan en el horno espero y me quede igual de doradito como el tuyo…gracias por todas esas recetas ricas y faciles de hacer :)
Muchas gracias por visitar mi blog :-)
Just made this! It came out a little soggy as well… Not sure why. Other than that it’s delicious! Can’t stop eating it! I have a feeling it’s going to be all gone by tomorrow :)
That is great. Maybe an extra 5 minutes in the oven would have worked better? Thanks for stopping by.
Ok, made this last night and GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!! It was beyond amazing! I thought for sure the recipe was wrong because there was so little batter to toss the apples in, but it was one of the best things I’ve ever made and/or eaten! I used a spring form pan, which made it really easy to remove and cut. I also added 1tsp. of cinnamon, because, well, I want it to be fall already!!! Also, my sugar of choice was coconut sugar. Served it with coconut whipped cream. Did I mention how good this was????
That is awesome. I am glad you liked it. I need to make this cake again soon :-) Thanks for stopping by.
Hi! Made this cake this afternoon with 1/2 c sugar and coconut oil! Delicious! Look forward to trying it with buckwheat flour like a previous poster stated. Thinking the grandkids would love this for breakfast at Grandmas. Thanks for sharing the recipe :).
That is awesome. I am glad you liked it!!
I just made this..AMAZING….I reduced the sugar to 2 tbsp. and tasted great!
Hi! I love this cake. Made few times already. But have a question. Do you think I can substitute milk for almond milk? Thank you!
I think it should be fine. I am glad you like it :-) Thanks for stopping by.
To me it tasted like scrambled eggs with baked apples… Maybe I did somethin wrong, but I suppose there must be less eggs and more flour to thicken up the batter a little AND to reduce the egg smell… Not to mention it was the soggiest cake/dessert I have made, and there have been too many…
The batter is indeed liquid like but I have never had that problem. Sorry it didn’t turn out good for you!
Will the cake turn out if you use butter instead of oil? Thanks!
Yes, just melt the butter :-)
Can I use honey instead of the sugar? If so how much honey should I use? Thanks!
The sugar gives structure to the cake so by using honey I am not sure if it will work!! Sorry I couldn’t be of more help!
This looks amazing! Think it’ll work with regular white whole wheat flour? That’s all I have in the house right now. Thanks in advance. :)
I think so, just add a tad less since it is more dense than pastry whole wheat flour. I hope it works :-)
Thank you! I’ll definitely give it a try. :)
I made this cake today. I used what you recommended as the start of the recipe but because I just love to tinker I used a quarter cup coconu flour instead of wheat pastry, I used organic Apple juice and some maple syrup instead of sugar. I also added cinnamon for more of a fall feel. Then added a little more coconut flour (1 tablespoon) to thicken it up just a little. Everything else the same. Cooked it in my cast iron skillet and it is amazing! Thank you for inspiring me.
This was really delicious, thank you! I increased the recipe to 1 1/2 size and baked it in a 9×13 pan. Surprisingly, I did not have to increase the baking time for the larger pan. I used a total of 2/3 cup sugar and added 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, per another commenter’s suggestion and it is plenty sweet. I think I could get away with 1/2 cup sugar even with the increased recipe.
That is awesome. Thanks for letting me know about your substitutions :-) I am glad you liked it!
This has become one of our favorite cakes. I also make it with summer peaches when we can’t eat them fast enough. We never have milk in the house and found it works well with almond or soy milk too. We’ve also been eliminating gluten and use 1/2 corn flour and 1/2 almond flour. It’s so easy and so good. Thank you!
