Swedish Apple Cake with Cinnamon and Caramel is a delightful dessert that combines the warm flavors of cinnamon and caramel with fresh apples. This traditional Swedish treat is perfect for autumn gatherings or any time you crave a comforting sweet.
Ingredients
- 4 large apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Preparation
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Layer the sliced apples evenly over the batter. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the apples. Then, pour the remaining batter on top, spreading it gently to cover the apples. Finish by drizzling the rest of the caramel sauce over the top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
This Swedish Apple Cake is best enjoyed warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The combination of cinnamon, caramel, and tender apples makes it a truly irresistible dessert.
