Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
2. Melt the butter. Optionally, brown it for added flavor, but this is not required. Allow the butter to cool.
3. Peel and slice your apples as thin as you can, preferably with a mandolin. If not available, slice thinly with a knife. Place the sliced apples in a large bowl.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light yellow.
5. Whisk in the flour, baking powder, and spices into the egg and sugar mixture.
6. Whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and cooled butter into the mixture.
7. Pour the batter over the sliced apples and stir to coat the apples evenly.
8. Add the apple and batter mixture to the prepared cake pan.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, until the cake is very golden brown.
10. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel, if desired.
