Servings: persons

6 apples, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 cup 2 TB flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup 1 TB white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 egg yolks
1 cup melted butter
1 cup milk 2% or whole
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a springform pan with cooking spray.
2
Peel and slice the apples into a bowl. Microwave them until softened, about 5-6 minutes, stirring halfway through. When done add Grand Marnier and lemon juice and set aside to cool.
3
In a small bowl mix 1 cup flour, brown sugar (make sure there are no lumps), 1/4 cup white sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4
In a large bowl with an electric mixer combine the egg, melted butter, milk, vanilla and 1 tsp of the cinnamon. Add the flour mixture and combine. Remove 1 cup of the batter.
5
Add the egg yolks to the large bowl and combine. Add the apples. The batter will be thin, don't worry!
6
Add the 2 TB of flour to the 1 cup of batter you've set aside and whisk to combine.
7
Put the contents of the large bowl with the apples into the springform pan. Put the remaining 1 cup of batter on top of the apple layer and carefully spread. The top layer is thick but it will spread with a knife or the back of a spoon.
8
Combine 1 TB sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and sprinkle over the top.
9
Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, a knife. should come out clean when inserted. Dust with powdered sugar. I serve this with whipped cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
