Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 large red apple of any kind, cored and thinly sliced
  • ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
  2. Mix the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, milk, and oil, and stir until blended. No need for beating vigorously.
  3. Spoon the batter into a greased and floured 9-by 13-inch (23-by-33-cm) baking pan (I use a Pyrex dish), evenly smoothing the top.
  4. Arrange the apple slices in several rows over the batter, alternating red and green apples, and making sure they overlap.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Crumble the mixture over the apples. Sprinkle all over with the walnuts.
  6. Bake the cake until the bottom layer is spongy and it begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 45 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
  7. Serve warm (great with ice cream on top) or at room temperature.
  8. Once it has cooled off, you can cover the cake with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 2 days.
