Sweetened with just maple syrup, this is a wonderful seasonal treat from zestfull.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup butter (room temperature)
3 eggs
1/2 cup & 1 tbsp maple syrup
3 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 apples – cut into small pieces
1 tsp & 1 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350°.
Butter a 9" spring form pan and then lightly coat with flour.
Combine butter, eggs and 1/2 cup of maple syrup using either beaters or a whisk. The mixture should be foamy and a little clumpy.
Add flour, baking powder and 1 tsp cinnamon. Mix well using beaters or a wooden spoon.
Mix apple pieces with 1 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tsp cinnamon
Spread 2/3 of the dough into the prepared pan, place apples over dough evenly.
Spread the remaining 1/3 dough over apples – this is tricky and is best done using a spatula.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean.
Best served with fresh whipped cream.
