Apple Dump Cake From Scratch
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples, about 1,5-2 pounds/ 700-900 g
- 1 ½ cup/ 180 g cup all purpose flour
- 1,5 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup/ 100 g caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar, or vanilla extract (see notes)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon, optional
- ½ cup/ 120 g butter, cold
Instructions
- Grease well a baking dish with 1,5 l capacity (I used 20 x 24 cm or 8 x 9 inch pan). You can use a small pie dish, as long as it is not too deep.
- Preheat the oven to 360° F/ 180° C.
- In a bowl combine flour, caster sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla sugar. Mix well and set aside.
- Peel and chop the apples into bite sized pieces. Place apples and brown sugar in the pan and mix well with a spoon.
- Cover the apples with the dry mixture. Press the dry ingredients with a spoon into the apples and smooth well the top. The dry mixture should go deep into the apples and the fruit should be evenly covered and sticking outside.
- Slice the butter thinly and arrange the slices close one to another on top of the dry ingredients.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until a golden brown crust is formed. Keep an eye on the cake in the first 10 minutes: if the butter has not spread around the whole top, use a spoon to spread it. Continue the baking normally afterwards.
- Serve with or without a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Keep leftovers in airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
You can use any kind of apples for this recipe. If using granny smith or other sour variety, you can add 1-2 tablespoon more sugar into the fruit. If using very sweet apples, you can decrease the sugar.
