Method

Preparation of the Torte

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix the Wet Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Combine the Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Fold in the Apples

    Gently fold in the sliced apples to the batter until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Pour into the Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

  7. 7

    Bake the Torte

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Cool the Torte

    Once baked, remove the torte from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Serving the Torte

  1. 9

    Slice the Torte

    Once the torte has cooled completely, slice it into wedges.

  2. 10

    Plate the Dessert

    On each plate, place a slice of the apple torte. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

  3. 11

    Drizzle with Caramel
