Swedish Apple Cake is a simple, cozy dessert made with tender sliced apples, warm cinnamon, and a soft, buttery cake base. It’s delicious served warm or at room temperature, on its own or with a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, or vanilla sauce. Perfect for fall gatherings, coffee breaks, or an everyday dessert.
Ingredients
Directions
Turn your oven on to 350°F (175°C) so it can heat up. Grease a 9-inch springform pan well so the cake doesn’t stick. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set this aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until soft and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each one. Then mix in the vanilla extract. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just until everything is combined—don’t overmix.
Gently stir in the chopped apples and nuts (if you are using nuts). Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes. While the cake is baking, you can prepare the caramel.
When the cake has been baking for about 30 minutes, start making the caramel. In a small saucepan, add brown sugar, half & half (or cream), and butter. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring often, until the mixture is smooth and melted together. You don’t need to boil it.
Enjoy!!
