Homemade cake: simple recipes for the holiday


Apples baked with delicate filling

  • apples - 5 pcs.;
  • yolk - 1 pc.;
  • sugar to taste;
  • lemon;
  • cream 33%;
  • cinnamon stick.

Cut out the core and pits of four apples. Peel the remaining apple and grate it on a coarse grater. Remove the zest from the lemon. Add a tablespoon of sugar, one yolk, a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream and lemon zest to the grated apple, mix. Place the apples in a baking dish and fill the centers with grated apple filling along with the sauce. Place 2-3 cinnamon sticks next to the apples. Bake the apples in an oven preheated to 180 degrees until cooked (about 30 minutes). After 15 minutes, the apples can be covered with foil. These are very tasty to eat both warm and cold.

Curd pie with apples stuffed with raisins

  • apples - 5-7 pcs.;
  • raisins - 50 g;
  • cottage cheese - 200 g;
  • butter - 100 g;
  • sugar - 150 grams;
  • vanilla sugar – 2 tsp;
  • eggs - 3 pcs.;
  • kefir - 150 ml;
  • flour - 150 g;
  • baking powder - 5 g.

It is best to use small apples for this pie. It is necessary to cut out the middle of the apples, leaving the top of the apple with the twig untouched. The apples also need to be carefully peeled. Stuff the bottom center of the apples with raisins. For the dough, in a bowl, mix and thoroughly knead cottage cheese, softened butter, regular and vanilla sugar, eggs and kefir. Add flour and baking powder to the dough, mix. Grease the pie pan with butter and sprinkle with flour. Place the dough in the mold and smooth it out. Carefully place the apples stuffed with raisins into the dough. Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 40 minutes.

Making apple jam

To prepare the jam you will need two large apples, sugar (150 grams) and the zest of one lemon. It is advisable to prepare the confiture in advance so that it has time to cool and by the time the cake is layered it is at room temperature and thick.

Peel the apples, remove the core, and cut into slices.

Remove the zest from the lemon without touching the white pulp (it is bitter).

Place apples + sugar in a saucepan on the fire. Stirring, cook the apples and sugar for 10 minutes. Add lemon zest. If the apples release juice slowly, you can add 2-3 tbsp. spoons of water.

The prepared confiture can be crushed with an immersion blender and boiled for another 10-15 minutes.

It would be much simpler and safer, to be honest, to immediately chop the apples before heating. This could be done in a regular blender. But the recipe indicated this method, and I tried to stick to it. you can do as I did or chop the apples into a homogeneous pulp on a grater in a blender bowl.

There may be pieces of apples in apple confiture; they will not affect the taste.

Place apples on the dough, place a spoonful of jam in the center of the apple, and place half a walnut on top. Mix the egg with a fork and brush the dough and apples with it, lightly sprinkle sugar on top. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.

Apple galette

For the test:

  • cold butter - 100 g;
  • flour - 200 g;
  • almond flour - 30 g;
  • sugar - 50 g;
  • egg - 1 pc.;

For filling:

  • large apples - 2 pcs.;
  • starch - 1 tsp;
  • ground cinnamon - 1/2 tsp;
  • brown sugar to taste.

To make the dough, rub cold butter with your hands into flour, sugar and almond flour until crumbly. Add the egg and knead the dough into a ball. Place in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. During this time, cut the apples into even thin slices, you can pour a little lemon juice so that the apples do not darken. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out between two sheets of baking paper into a wide circle. Remove the top sheet of paper and, retreating about 4-5 cm from the edge, lay out the apples beautifully. Sprinkle apples lightly with starch, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar to taste. It is convenient to fold the edges of the biscuit together with the paper, pressing the dough against the apples. For this pie you don’t need to make perfectly straight edges; a little carelessness even gives it a zest. Place the galette on the same sheet of parchment onto a baking sheet, sprinkle with brown sugar and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Cook for about 30 minutes – the pastry should be nice and golden and the apples should be soft. The galette can be served hot with ice cream. But it is no less tasty when cold.

Apple cake

Apple cake does not tolerate too much description, so without much rant, let's move on to the recipes themselves.

For the cakes:

  • flour - 4 tbsp;
  • soda - 2 teaspoons;
  • baking powder - 1 teaspoon;

  • cinnamon - 1 teaspoon;
  • ground cloves - 1/2 teaspoon;
  • butter - 1 1/2 tbsp;
  • sugar - 2 1/2 tbsp.;
  • eggs - 2 pcs.;
  • applesauce - 4 tbsp;
  • peanuts - 1 handful.

For caramel:

  • sugar - 1 1/2 tbsp.;
  • sugar syrup - 1/4 cup;
  • butter - 1/2 tbsp;
  • cream - 1 1/2 tbsp.

For cream:

  • flour - 1/3 cup;
  • milk - 1 1/2 tbsp.;
  • cream - 1/3 cup;
  • butter - 1 1/2 tbsp;
  • vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon.

Preparation

Before preparing the apple cake, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease 3 molds with a diameter of 20 cm with butter and cover with parchment.

Sift flour with soda and baking powder, add salt, cinnamon and cloves. Mix thoroughly.

In another container, beat soft butter and sugar into a fluffy white mass. Add 1 egg at a time to the oil, stirring constantly. Now gradually add the mixture of dry ingredients to the butter mixture and knead the dough. Add applesauce to the dough and beat everything until smooth. Divide the dough into 3 forms and put in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Let the prepared applesauce pie crusts cool for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the caramel. Pour sugar into a saucepan and add syrup with 1/2 cup of water. We wait until the sugar crystals dissolve, then increase the heat and let the caramel simmer, without stirring, until it acquires a golden hue. Remove the caramel from the heat, add butter and milk, whisking constantly.

Now let's make the cream. Mix sugar with flour and put the mixture on fire. Add milk and cream and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil the cream over low heat for 10-15 minutes, then pour it into a cold bowl. Pour 1/3 cup of the syrup that we prepared earlier into the cream and let it cool. Gradually add soft butter and vanilla to the cooled mass, simultaneously whisking the cream with a mixer.

Now coat the cooled cakes with cream inside and outside, and pour caramel over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the sides of the cake with chopped peanuts.
