Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 stick butter, cubed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk

For the Topping

  • 2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

For the Garnish

  • apricot jam
  • powdered sugar
  • cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a dough blade, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and pulse to combine.
  3. Add cubes of cold butter and pulse until pea-sized pieces form.
  4. While pulsing, stream in ½ cup of milk until a soft, shaggy dough forms that can easily be pressed together into a ball.
  5. Take the dough and press it into a greased and floured 9″ cake pan.
  6. Then peel and slice the 2 granny smith apples into a ¼” thickness and press them firmly into the dough, overlapping as you go.
  7. Whisk together two eggs, 1 cup of milk, and ¾ of a cup of granulated sugar and pour it on top of the cake.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 20 minutes in the pan then remove to finish cooling. Enjoy!
