There are foods that appear at the Jewish holidays that I crave all year, including brisket and latkes. Now I’m adding to the list Martha Stewart’s easy apple cake made in a skillet, and it is to die for. You could certainly make this with a variety of colorful fruits, though apples are especially good this time of year.

Ingredients
- 3 eggs `large
- 1 cup milk low-fat
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1¼ teaspoons salt coarse
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 3 apples sweet (such as McIntosh) peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons sugar raw
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt low-fat plain, for serving (optional)
Servings:
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, and salt; set aside. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook apple slices, stirring occasionally, until soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Add brown sugar and cinnamon and cook until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour in batter and transfer to oven. Bake until cake puffs, about 12 minutes. Sprinkle with raw sugar and return to oven until brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve each slice with a dollop of Greek yogurt, if using.
This did not resemble “cake” inany way. Much more like a frittata. I would not make it again.
When I made this cake, Aurelle, it was like a “crostata,” which is more a free-form tart than a cake, so I agree about the naming here. (We have no control over its name.) Having said that, we ate every bite and found it delicious. So sorry you were displeased, however; our game is to offer things that will make you happy. Best, Faith.
I wanted something to put on the table for our Christmas dinner that would offer a symbolic nod to my fathers spiritual heritage. I heard this being described on the Food Smooze program, found the recipe online, and followed it to the “T”. Result, everyone loved it! Thank you Martha and Faith!
Shaun, delighted to hear that; we made Martha’s recipe and loved it, too. Join our party anytime. Cheers! – Faith
