Description
I use Granny Smith apples in this milopita recipe, but if you have a favorite apple you prefer for baking, use it.
Ingredients
- 5 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 ½ cups white sugar, divided
- ¼ stick unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup raisins (Optional)
- 1 ½ cups olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 5 eggs, separated
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 apples, grated
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line an 11-inch round baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine sliced apples
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- butter
- and brown sugar in a large bowl. Mix together gently
- being careful not to break apple slices. Pour sugary juice from the apple mixture into the prepared baking pan. Arrange sliced apples on top in a circle. Sprinkle raisins on top of apples and pour any remaining juice over all.
- Combine olive oil and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Add egg yolks
- flour
- grated apples
- baking powder
- and remaining white sugar. Stir well to combine. Beat egg whites to a light froth in a separate bowl and stir into the olive oil mixture carefully. Pour over the apples in the baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean
- about 45 minutes. Cover cake with foil if the top browns before the cake is done baking.
- Remove cake from oven and allow to cool
- about 30 minutes. Invert cake onto a serving plate.
