Apple Sharlotka

Ingredients:

  • Butter or nonstick spray for greasing pan
  • 6 large, tart apples (such as Granny Smith)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Ground cinnamon, to finish
  • Powdered sugar, to finish
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Butter the paper and the side of the pan. 
  2. Peel, halve, and core the apples. Chop them into medium-sized chunks (or 1/4-inch thin slices or strips). Pile the cut apples directly in the prepared pan.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl using an electric mixer or whisk, beat eggs with sugar until thick and ribbons form on the surface of the beaten eggs. Beat in vanilla, then stir in flour with a spoon until combined. The batter will be very thick.
  4. Pour over apples in pan and using a spoon or spatula, spread the batter and press it down into the apple pile. The top of the batter should end up level with the top of the apples. 
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a tester comes out free of batter. Cool in pan for 10 minutes on rack, then flip out onto another rack, peel off the parchment paper, and flip it back onto a serving platter. Dust lightly with ground cinnamon. 
  6. Serve warm or cooled, dusted with powdered sugar.
