Irish Apple Cake

Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients
4 tbsp butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten
4 Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled, and sliced thin
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup all-purpose flour
Whipped cream or ice cream for serving

Cooking Tools

Large mixing bowl

Bread pan

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease an 8-inch square cake pan or bread pan. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, apples, and vanilla and stir well. Sift in the dry ingredients and mix well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the cake is lightly browned and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then un-mold and serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.  Dust with powdered sugar (optional).
