A real classic that is always well received! Especially great: the fruity sheet cake with sponge cake and cinnamon sugar is really quick to bake!
A sunken apple pie from the tray probably brings back childhood memories not only in me. It consists of juicy batter, fruity cinnamon apples and a hint of vanilla and lemon. A real, if rather unspectacular classic. And yet Grandma’s apple pie tray always tastes great!
Sunken apple pie is THE cake from my childhood. The basis was always the recipe “very fine apple cake” from an old, yellowed and tattered Oetker baking book. But you never needed it anyway. The recipe is easy to remember. The fact that the sunken apple pie from the tray is easy is just one of its pluses. The comparatively luscious batter, which I spice up with ground almonds and vanilla pulp for my variant, as with the apricot cake, is followed by a lot of juicy apple pieces – and (optionally) a good portion of cinnamon sugar. While the apples in the traditional recipe are cut in half from the springform pan and then cut a few times, more cubes are used here. This is how the fast Sponge apple pie from the tray cut better. The pieces can then be rather large or small as desired.
Because the sunken apple pie from the tray is baked with batter, it is the perfect beginner cake. Just pay attention to my tips from the sponge cake guide; First and foremost, butter and eggs must be at room temperature. Then nothing can actually go wrong.
