Makes 6
I like to think of this cake as part of my daily fruit portions, because apples are the main ingredient. Some berries can also be added to it, such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or even cranberries.
6 apples (any kind you like)
Grated zest of 1 lime or lemon
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup blueberries
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup cake flour
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
¼ cup blueberries, to decorate
1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
2. Peel and core the apples. Cut them in thin slices, put them in a bowl, and sprinkle them with lime or lemon zest. Add the cinnamon and 1 tablespoon sugar, and stir to combine.
3. Put the apple slices in a greased 9-inch baking pan. Add ½ cup blueberries.
4. Put the brown sugar, flour, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla in another bowl.
5. Mix with a spatula or a wire whisk, and pour over the apples.
6. Bake for 55 minutes or until golden.
7. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream, and a few blueberries.
Top with vanilla or berry ice cream for a more stylish presentation.
