This spiced creamy apple bake recipe is the definition of moist, wet, and syrupy in your face. Nothing else.
Step 1
Slice apples, about 1 centimeter (about ½ inch) thick. Heat butter over medium heat in a frying pan, add apple slices and cinnamon. While stirring, sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 180 °C / 350 °F and grease a deep 25 cm (10 inch) round ovenproof dish (see notes). Combine eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (a handheld electric beater in a normal mixing bowl, will also do the thing). Whip on medium-high until very thick and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Add the butter and vanilla to the egg mixture and whip until combined.
Step 3
Meanwhile, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
Step 4
Alternately add the milk and sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture, mixing until combined.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared ovenproof dish, add apple slices one by one to distribute evenly all over the batter. Bake for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Start with this step when there are 5 minutes baking time left. Mix the cream, sugar, and butter together in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Take the apple bake out of the oven and immediately pour cream sauce over it.
