Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need:
- 4 large eggs
- 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 120 g (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 120 ml (½ cup) milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 7 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 280 g (2 ¼ cups) all-purpose flour
- Optional: cinnamon, vanilla extract, or lemon zest for extra flavor
🍏 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round or square baking dish with a little butter or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl:
- Beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes light and slightly frothy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the melted butter and milk, mixing until well combined.
- Stir in the baking powder and slowly incorporate the flour, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
💡 Optional: Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon for a cozy flavor boost.
3. Add the Apples
Peel and slice the apples thinly. Gently fold the apple slices into the batter until well distributed.
🍋 Tip: Toss apple slices with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning and add a fresh zing.
4. Bake the Pie
Pour the apple mixture into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to even out the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
5. Cool & Serve
Let the pie cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or chilled with a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
