- In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture whitens and doubles in volume.
- Add, little by little, the flour previously sifted with the baking powder, mixing with enveloping movements.
- Add the milk and melted butter to the preparation and mix well until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
- Pour half of the dough into a previously greased mold. Place the apple slices on it and then pour the rest of the dough.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and cook the cake for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While the cake is cooking, you can prepare a simple caramel with sugar and a little water. Once ready, pour over the still hot cake.
Tips and advice:
- If you wish, you can add raisins or dried fruits to the dough to give it an extra touch of flavor and texture.
- Make sure the caramel doesn’t burn, as it could make the cake bitter.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an even more irresistible dessert.
Caramel apple pie is a classic that never goes out of style. Its sweet and caramel flavor, along with the freshness of the apple, makes it an ideal option for any occasion. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
