Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 1/3 cups light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus for greasing the pan
- 6 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 apples, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/2 cup toasted pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter and line bottom with parchment.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
- Cream the brown sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 6 to 7 minutes; the mixture will lighten and double in volume. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until combined. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Fold in the apple pieces.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 30 minutes, then remove the sides of the pan. Brush the cake with the maple syrup and sprinkle with the orange zest and toasted pistachios.

Hi this looks amazing. I’d love to make it. Can I just check – as I’m outside of the US and our measurements are different – on conversion charts it says a stick butter is approx 110g (so 1.5 would be 165g?) but 12 tablespoons is 240g which makes me think I’ll muck up the recipe if I don’t know how much to use.
Excellent! Very moist and delicious!
It was delicious. I made this for tomorrow mornings breakfast. I had to take a slice before bed it smelled so good. I loved it. I can’t wait for my family to try it. The only thing I did differently was using dark brown sugar and vanilla bean paste, its all i had. I also used pink lady apples.
Can’t wait to try this!!! Love this show!! Looking forward to more episodes!
I had to cook it little longer, but boy it was delicious. I poked holes so the maple syrup with a dash of Grand Marnier would soak in. It was a family winner.
Easy and delicious! Subtly sweet as there is not a lot of sugar. Loved the recipe and will make again! Hope to see more recipes from this show.
After an hour in the oven it was still raw when I poked it with a toothpick. I followed the recipe but I used medium/large apples so that could be why. Does anyone have any other ideas why it took longer to cook? I just baked it longer to get it cooked through but other than that it was an excellent cake! Super easy recipe.
Just made this last night and I’m always wary of trying new recipes because i seem to always have high expectations and then I get let down a bit (which could be my fault because I’m not a pro chef!) But I have to say, this apple cake is fool-proof AMAZING! My husband went on and on about it. I know I’ll be making this quite a bit in the future!
Easy to make and a moist cake, but not much flavor.
This will be our Christmas breakfast tradition! Thank you, Shaye!
