We had a grand 2-week visit with my Hungarian relatives, enjoying the many things that Toronto has to offer. During the annual street party, our dear neighbour (one of whom we do the Progressive dinners with) asked us all over to their place for a BBQ. I made dessert. I chose to remake the Martha Stewart Apple Cake that I previously posted here. It was so well received that My cousin asked for the recipe, so I will post this recipe in Hungarian for my kin in Budapest (English will follow).
Egy nagyon jó két hétes nyaralás volt a magyar rokonokal. Meglátogatunk mindent ami van Torontoba. Az este amikor az utca ünneplés volt, a kedves szomszéd (akikval közül csináljuk Progresszív vacsorákat) meg hivtak minket egy grillezésre. Én csináltam a desszertet. Úgy döntöttem, hogy meg csinálmon a Martha Stewart almás süteményét, amit korábban irtam rola itt. Annyira szereték, hogy az unokatestvérem kérte a receptet, így én hozzászólom a receptet magyarul (English recipe to follow).

A tasty combo of cake and apples with a good dose of cinnamon. Egy finom torta almával és egy jó adag fahéjjel.
Almás Sütemény
Az eredeti recept it van.
Egy reczept csinál egy 23 cm kerék tepsit ami 8 – 10 cm magas, vagy két 20 cm kerék tepsit de csak 5 cm magas.
Hozzávalók:
- szukor meghinteni a tepsit
- 195 g liszt
- 12 g sütőpor
- 5 g só
- 7 g fahéj puder, plusz egy kicsi a tepsinek és a pite tetejére
- 85 g vaj, olvaszva
- 170 g barna cukor, plusz egy kicsi a pite tetejére
- 125 mL tej
- 2 tojás, szobahőmérség
- 2 nagy alma, hámozott és vékonyra szeletelve
- 30 g vaj, plusz egy kicsi a tepsinek és a pite tetejére kis csipetkékb
Utasítás:
- A sütőt előmelegítjük 200 °C-ra.
- Ki vajazuk a tepsit egy kis vajal és meghintjük cukorral.
- A liszthez hozzáadjuk a sütőport, a sót, és a fahéj pudert és alaposan keverjük össze.
- Egy másik tálban jól megkeverük egy habverővel az olvasztott vajat, a barna cukrot, a tejet, és a tojást.
- Lassan a vaj keveréket a liszt keveréketel hozá adjuk és osze keverjük.
- Öntsük a tésztát az előkészített tepsibe és az almát egyenként rendezzük körbe szorokan amíg elfogy (ugy mint a kép).
- A pite tetejét meghintjük egy kis barna cukral és fahéjjal es kis csipetke vajjal.
- Sütjük amíg a teteje arany szinu és a gyümölcs meg van fóve, körülbelül 40-50 perc, vagy amíg a sütemény teszter (tiszta fogpiszkáló) a tészta közepének jön ki tisztan.
Apple Cake
Original recipe may be found here.
Makes one 9″ deep spring-form pan cake or two 8″ slightly shallower round cakes.
Ingredients:
- sugar for dusting pan
- 195 g flour
- 12 g baking powder
- 5 g salt
- 7 g cinnamon
- 85 g butter, unsalted and melted, plus a bit more for the pan and cake top
- 170 g dark brown sugar, packed
- 125 mL milk (I used skim)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced into 2 mm sliced wedges
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Butter a 9″ springform pan and line the bottom with parchment. Sprinkle with sugar and shake the pan to coat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, milk and eggs.
- Slowly fold the butter mixture into the flour mixture, just stirring until blended.
- Spoon the batter mixture into the prepared springform pan, smooth the top evenly.
- Arrange the apple slices in a circle closely together in the cake batter. Then press each piece of fruit gently down into the batter.
- Sprinkle over with the 2 tbsp brown sugar and cinnamon. Top the brown sugar by dotting the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over.
- Bake until top is golden and the fruit has softened, about 35-50 minutes in a convection oven (fan oven for my European friends), or until a cake tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.
This is my ideal cake, Eva. I love the crumbly top and sliced apples sticking out. Think I’d have to roll out the custard though.

I was trying to figure out why this cake looked so familiar to me… those apple slice wedges and the charming, rustic appearance… had I made it before? It must have been your prior posting that I was recalling Eva! This is one of the coolest looking cakes I have ever seen — right up my alley in terms of taste too. I must make it soon!

Thank you Charlie, it was very nice being with them for the two weeks. And I was surprised that my head didn’t explode having to speak Hungarian most of the time! I was surprised at how quickly the language came back to me because I don’t speak it much in my everyday life.

A meal on the patio! What’s that like? With all this rain, we’ve only been able to pull that off once. So wet this summer. Hopefully that will change. This cake looks divine and I have no doubt it was a hit all around. It sounds like you had a wonderful visit! Are you fluent in Hungarian Eva?

What a wonderful apple cake! I tend to forget apples when summer fruits arrive, but yesterday I craved an apple so much, I bough just one and devoured.
I love the bilingual recipe! I have never manage to post anything in any other language… too lazy… Have you considered doing it more often? I would practice my Hungarian this way 😉 , the way I do with a certain Japanese bilingual blog!
I must say you have a beautiful and elegant umbrella (is it still called umbrella?).

Thank you Sissi for your kind words and words of encouragement regarding the bilingual recipe…it was very difficult as telling a story doesn’t require the precision that a recipe does so after I started with the translation I immediately regretted it. Thank goodness for Google Translate, it saved me several times when I was at a loss for words.

It’s always flattering to have family ask for recipes. My Hungarian SIL doesn’t bake often so they prefer the finished cakes. I hope they enjoyed their visit to TO. There’s so much to see and do.
Your presentation of the apple cake with the thin slices set all around in a flower petal like pattern is gorgeous. Well done.
