Chef Tips

- Cut the apple cubes into a uniform size of about 1 centimeter so they cook evenly without sinking into the pan. - Toss the apple pieces in a tablespoon of wheat flour before adding to the dough to keep them well distributed. - Respect the 10 minutes of rest in the pan after removing from the oven before unmolding, avoiding cracks in the slice.

Variations

- Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or chestnuts to the apples to add a crunchy texture to the filling. - Dust the completely cooled cake with powdered sugar mixed with a pinch of cinnamon. - Replace half of the white sugar with brown sugar to give a dark golden tone and toasted notes.

Substitutions

- The butter can be replaced with 1/2 cup of culinary margarine or sunflower vegetable oil. - Regular cow's milk can be replaced by almond vegetable drink or natural apple juice in the same amount. - Granny Smith or Fuji apple can be replaced by firm cubed gala apple.

How to Store

Store the apple cake in a closed container or under a cake dome at room temperature for up to 3 days. In case the weather is hot and humid, store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to avoid mold resulting from fruit moisture.

Can You Freeze It?

The baked cake can be frozen in slices wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 2 months. To thaw, transfer the portions to the refrigerator the day before and heat quickly in the oven before serving.

What to Serve With

Serve warm slices accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. For drinks, it pairs perfectly with cups of apple cinnamon tea or fresh brewed coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to peel the apples?

The peel can be kept if it is well sanitized, but removing the skin ensures that the cubes remain soft and integrated into the dough.

Does the apple sink to the bottom of the pan during cooking?

To prevent the cubes from sinking, coat the apple pieces in a light layer of all-purpose flour before adding to the batter.

Posso usar maçã argentina ou verde na receita?

Sim, a maçã verde (Granny Smith) traz uma acidez agradável que equilibra o açúcar da massa, sendo uma excelente alternativa.

How to tell if the center of the cake is fully baked?

Insert a wooden toothpick into the middle of the pan at 35 minutes; if it comes out dry and without liquid batter residue, the cake is ready.
