Recipe for Apple, Vanilla, and Cinnamon Cake

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Butter a ceramic or other type of dish (for me, it is 20 cm in diameter!). In a small mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Then add the egg, milk, and oil. Mix well to obtain a smooth batter. Pour the batter into your dish.

Wash and peel the apples. Cut them into thin slices. Arrange the apple slices neatly and tightly on the dough in a rosette shape. I generally make two layers to achieve the right apple flavor. Sprinkle with cinnamon (optional!). Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Prepare the filling: Add the sugar, vanilla, and egg to the melted butter. Mix well to achieve a smooth mixture. After 15-20 minutes of baking, remove the cake.

To finish, brush the apples with the sauce using a pastry brush. Bake the cake a second time for about 15 to 20 minutes depending on your oven. The surface will become nicely golden and crispy. Once cooked, let it cool. You can serve your apple cake with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla or plain ice cream.
