In the Heart of Waterloo County

We live in beautiful Kitchener, Ontario which is in the heart of Waterloo County. Our city is best known for the Waterloo Farmers Market, Oktoberfest, The Knitters Fair and maple syrup. We enjoy the Farmers Market year round, but it's best now during the harvest.


I bake a lot and plan to post some of my family's favourite recipes on this blog. Easy Apple Cake is a simple, 6 ingredient recipe. Try substituting the apples with other fruits. It's great with blueberries or plums.


EASY APPLE CAKE
2 cups flour
1-1/4 cups white sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup melted butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 or 3 apples, thickly sliced or chopped
In a large bowl with a wooden spoon mix together all ingredients (except apples) until it crumbles. Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture. Place crumbs in an 8" sprayed baking pan or pie plate, don't press the crumbs down. Cover with apples. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs over the fruit. Dust the top of cake with cinnamon. Bake at 350F for 40 minutes.
