Cinnamon Apple Pie
If you prefer, you can make the pie in a ceramic or glass baking dish and serve it in that dish.
Ingredients
- 6 - 8 granny smith apple peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Cinnamon Sugar see NOTE
- 3 eggs
- 345 grams Caster (Superfine) Sugar (1 1/2 cups)
- 375 ml light olive oil or vegetable oil (1 1/2 cups)
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 225 grams Plain (All purpose) Flour (1 1/2 cups)
- extra cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line the base and side of a 26 cm springform cake tin.
- Layer the apple slices in the prepared tin so they come about two-thirds of the way up the side. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the apples.
- Make a batter by beating the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the oil and vanilla and beat well, then stir in the flour. Spoon the batter on top of the cinnamon-covered apples and sprinkle with extra cinnamon sugar.
- Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the cake. Cool in the tin. Serve warm with cream or ice cream.
- Note: To make cinnamon sugar to keep in your pantry, mix 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon with 1 cup caster (superfine) sugar
