Apple Pan Cake

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!
