Riverhouse
Café’s Johnny Apple Cake
Mom sends me the Hannaford FRESH
magazine every time she has accumulated a stack of them. I just received the
new batch last week and found a great recipe I tried the other day. Had to share.
If you live in New England, check out the diner. I bet everything on the
menu is awesome!
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon (I used
allspice)
¼ tsp. salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted (I used
salted)
¼ tsp. vanilla extract
1 apple cored, cut into ¼ pieces (I
used a granny Smith and red delicious)
2 Tbsp. packed light brown sugar
Place a rack in the upper-middle of the
oven and pre-heat to 400º.
Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon,
and salt in one bowl, and whisk milk, egg, sugar, 2 tbsp. butter and vanilla in
another bowl. Combine wet ingredients and chopped apple to dry ingredients and
mix just until combined.
Heat remaining butter in cast iron or
oven proof skillet, stirring pan to coat.
When butter is hot and melted, sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the
skillet and pour in batter. Smooth over
top and bake in oven until golden brown. About 20 minutes.
Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes and
then invert it onto a serving platter.
Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar and serve with whipped cream and syrup
(optional) if desired.
Author’s note: Not just for breakfast. I think this will be a great dessert during
holidays topped with strawberries, blueberries, and even chocolate syrup!
