Warm Apple Cake Ingredients

Method

Warm Apple Cake Directions

1

Prepare the Apples

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apples are well coated.

2

Make the Brown Butter

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3

Assemble the Cake

Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and place it in a greased 9-inch pie dish. Pour the apple mixture into the pastry crust, then drizzle the brown butter over the apples. Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry, sealing the edges.

4

Bake

Cut a few slits in the top pastry to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.

5

Serve

Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving warm with a scoop of sorbet on the side.
