Apple Cake With Vegan Sour Cream Coating

2021-10-15

Jump To Recipe

For me, an apple pie means a cozy home, a comforting dish that stands on its own (at home or in a restaurant), or a dessert that leaves a sweet kiss in the mouth.


There are so many variations for this classic dish! Starting with Apple Pie, Tart Tatin, and Apple Strudel (recipe coming soon :)) through Hungarian apple cake (recipe coming soon too), an upside-down apple cake, up to recipes that play with the basic ingredients: apples, flour, sugar, and fat.

No matter what style the apple cake is, it always belongs to the classics of cakes, the ones that stand the most brutal test of all – the test of TIME.

Undoubtedly, apple cake is a rib in the holy trinity of cakes: cheese, chocolate, and apples. Isn’t it?

So what do we have here: a crunchy crust, topped with apple slices which are not cooked or caramelized but soaked in boiling water to preserve their crunchiness, coated with a mixture of vegan sour cream, sugar, cinnamon, and ground cardamom.

You can’t fail with this easy recipe!

Enjoy and let me know how it turned out ❣️

Ingredients
 
 
Crust
  • 1 cup white spelt flour
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 75 grams vegan butter
  • 2 Tbsp vegan sour cream click the link for the full recipe
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • pinch ground cardamom optional, by taste
  • lemon zest of one medium lemon by taste
  • pinch salt
Apples
  • 3-4 green apples depends on size; I used 4 small apples
Vegan Sour Cream Coating
  • ⅔ cup vegan sour cream click the link for the full recipe
  • 1-2 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp ground cardamom optional by taste
Instructions
 
Early Preparation
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. (356 F)
  • Line the pan with baking paper and grease well (including the baking paper)
Crust
  • Mix all the ingredients in a food processor for a few seconds until it forms into a ball.
  • Line the dough on the bottom of the greased pan. (Bottom only – no sides)
Vegan Sour Cream Coating
  • Mix sour cream, sugar, cinnamon and cardamom in a bowl and set aside.
Apples
  • Peel the apples, cut into 8 slices and remove the cores.
  • Place the apples in a bowl, pour boiling water until the apples are covered, cover with a lid, and set aside for 15 minutes. It will "wet" the apples and soften them a bit. *
  • Strain the apples ** and place them densely over the dough; Don't worry if they overlap.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the apples soften slightly (prick with a wooden skewer)
  • Remove from the oven (to spread the sour cream coating)
Vegan Sour Cream Coating
  • Pour the sour cream mixture over the apples. If necessary, tilt the mold to ensure an even coating (with kitchen gloves, of course – to avoid burns 🙂
  • Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the coating sets and turns golden.
  • Remove and cool on a wire rack; To safely remove the cake from the pan, pass a knife or metal spatula around the cake before releasing the spring.
  • Serve lukewarm or cold.
Notes
* In this method of soaking the apples in boiling water, you get a cake with “al dente” crunchy apples; if you prefer a cake with soft apples, cook the apples in boiling water until half softened and continue by the recipe.
** Do not spill the soaking water of the apples; You can use it for smoothies etc.; I add them to my water bottle 🙂
*** Based on a recipe from Ruth Sirkis’ book “From the Kitchen with joy.”
