Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup neutral seed oil (such as sunflower or canola)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 packet (16 g) baking powder
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (type 00)
- a pinch of lemon or orange zest (optional)
- powdered sugar for dusting
Preparation:
1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and frothy. Gradually add the milk and oil, mixing until well combined.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift the flour and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a smooth batter forms.
3. Prepare Apples: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly into rounds or wedges.
4. Assemble: Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan lined with parchment paper. Arrange the apple slices on top of the batter in a circular pattern.
5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
6. Finish and Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature for a comforting, nostalgic treat.
