How to cook deliciously - Buttery Apple Torte

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously butter an 8- or 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan with 2 inch (5cm) sides. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and butter the top of it as well.

2. Stage

Cook the apple slices: Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Pour 6 tablespoons (3 ounces or 90ml) of it into a small bowl or cup and set aside. Add the apple slices and the remaining butter to a large frying pan and cook on medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

3. Stage

Make the batter: In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the whole eggs and egg yolk until blended. Add the 6 tablespoons of melted butter, the vanilla, the granulated sugar, and the lemon zest. Stir in the flour mixture and the apples.

4. Stage

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan: Smooth out the top.

5. Stage

Bake: Bake at 375°F 30 to 35 minutes. The cake is done when it is browned, and when you press into the top, it bounces back. After about 20 minutes of baking or so, if the top is getting well browned, tent the cake with aluminum foil. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Invert the cake onto a plate and lift off the pan, then invert the cake again onto the rack and let cool completely.
