Apple pie

Dessert - Apple pie by Olimpia J. - Recipia

The apple cake is easily prepared in a multicooker and has a simple composition based on butter, eggs, milk, and flour. The apples are placed at the bottom of the pot, then covered with the batter so that the dessert bakes evenly. Preparing the ingredients takes about 35 minutes, and the baking program is set for 45 minutes. Quick Info Preparation time: about 35 minutes, according to the recipe Cooking time: 45 minutes Estimated total time: about 80 minutes, excluding cooling time Servings: the number of servings is not specified; the cake can be sliced after cooling Difficulty: easy Recipe type: apple cake in a multicooker Device used: Philips multicooker Ingredients 2 apples 200 g flour 150 g sugar 2 medium eggs 150 g butter, at room temperature, plus a little for greasing the pot 100 ml sweet milk 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 packet vanilla sugar Vanilla essence, quantity not specified Salt, quantity not specified in the original recipe Preparation method 1. Let the butter reach room temperature. Place it in the mixing bowl along with the sugar and vanilla sugar. Mix until you achieve a smooth and soft cream. 2. Add the eggs and continue mixing until well incorporated into the butter cream. 3. In another bowl, mix the sifted flour with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. The amount of salt is not mentioned in the original recipe, so use it to taste. 4. Place half of the flour mixture over the mixture in the bowl. Incorporate the flour with a plastic spatula, then mix again briefly. 5. Add the milk and vanilla essence. Add the remaining flour, then mix until the batter becomes smooth. There is no need to insist after all the ingredients have combined. 6. Grease the bottom and sides of the multicooker pot with a little butter. 7. Peel the apples if desired, then slice them. The original recipe mentions sliced apples without further indications regarding thickness or peeling. Arrange the slices at the bottom of the greased pot. 8. Pour the batter over the apples and level it gently to cover them as evenly as possible. 9. Close the multicooker lid. Press the MENU button and select the BAKE program. 10. Set the temperature to 180 degrees Celsius. Press COOKING TIME and select a duration of 45 minutes. 11. Press START and let the cake bake until the program is completed. 12. When the program is finished, disconnect the device from the power source. 13. Remove the cake from the pot only after it has cooled. Cooling is important because the cake is more fragile while warm and can break when removed. Why I make this recipe often It is a cake with common ingredients and does not require complicated steps. The batter is prepared in a short time, and the multicooker takes care of the baking once the program is set. The apples add flavor and moisture, and the composition with butter and milk remains fluffy after baking. Another advantage is that the recipe does not require separate decoration. After cooling, the cake can be sliced directly from the pot and served. It is suitable for a homemade dessert when you have a few apples on hand and want to use the multicooker instead of the oven. Tips Use soft butter at room temperature, not melted butter. This way, the butter mixes more easily with the sugar and forms the cream mentioned in the recipe. The flour should be sifted before being mixed with the baking powder and baking soda. Adding it in two batches helps to homogenize the batter. After adding the flour and milk, mix only until the composition becomes uniform. The batter should not be worked more than necessary. Grease the sides of the pot as well, not just the bottom. This helps to release the cake after cooling. Do not try to remove the cake immediately after the program ends. The recipe clearly states that it should be left to cool before being removed from the pot. Substitutions The recipe uses sweet milk, butter, and sugar, and the source does not indicate substitutes for these ingredients. If you need to modify the composition, changing the milk or butter can affect the texture, so the original proportions are preferred. The vanilla essence does not have an exact quantity in the recipe. You can use the usual amount you would use for cakes without altering the other ingredients. Variations You can use different varieties of apples, as long as you keep the two apples indicated in the recipe. The final taste will depend on how sweet or tart the apples are. The apples can be sliced thinner or thicker, but the source does not provide an exact thickness. The important thing is to place them at the bottom of the pot before pouring the batter. No other additions, such as cinnamon, nuts, or raisins, are specified in the original recipe. To keep the recipe in its original form, these are not necessary. Serving ideas The cake is served after cooling, sliced. It can be offered plain, without topping or decoration, as it already has the apples placed at the bottom of the pot. For cleaner slicing, let it cool completely before cutting. Frequently asked questions 1. Can this cake be made without a multicooker? The recipe is written for a Philips multicooker and uses the BAKE program at 180 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes. The source does not provide temperature and time for the oven, so these settings cannot be transferred exactly without further information. 2. When are the apples taken out of the pot? The apples are not removed separately. They are placed in slices at the bottom of the pot, and the batter is poured over them before baking. The cake is removed from the pot only after cooling. 3. Why is the flour added in two batches? Half of the flour is first incorporated into the butter and egg cream, then the milk and the remaining flour are added. This order helps achieve a homogeneous composition. 4. Is it mandatory to cool the cake before removing it? Yes. The recipe specifies that the cake should be removed from the pot only after it has cooled. While it is hot, the composition is softer and can break. 5. How much salt and how much vanilla essence are used? The ingredients provided do not specify exact quantities for salt and vanilla essence. These are added to taste and according to the amount usually used for a cake of this type. Nutritional values The values below are estimates and are calculated for the entire recipe, using the indicated quantities. They may vary depending on the type of butter, milk, apples, and vanilla sugar used. For the entire cake: Calories: approximately 2,700–2,800 kcal Protein: approximately 35–40 g Carbohydrates: approximately 330–345 g Fats: approximately 130–140 g If the cake is divided into 8 servings, one serving has approximately: 335–350 kcal 4–5 g protein 41–43 g carbohydrates 16–18 g fats These values do not include any ingredients added later and do not represent an exact nutritional calculation. Storage and reheating After cooling, keep the cake covered at room temperature if consumed shortly. For longer storage, it can be kept in the refrigerator in a closed container to prevent it from drying out and absorbing odors from the fridge. Before serving, let the slices sit at room temperature for a bit. The recipe does not include reheating instructions, and the cake can be eaten cold after it has completely cooled.
