The recipe says to bake it in a pie pan, but I just used a 13x9, and it worked great. I loved this cake! Tart cranberries with the delicious essence of range and cinnamon along with buttery cake, it's just a perfectly deliciously cake! Now's the time to make this, as cranberries are in abundance and so good for you, too!Easy Cranberry & Apple Cake
1 12-oz bag cranberries, picked over and rinsed
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled & diced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/4 cup orange juice
1 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
3 large eggs (The recipe called for 2 extra-large, but I only had large, so I used 3)
1 cup +1 tablespoon sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted & cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup sour cream (I used Greek yogurt)
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Place cranberries, apple, brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and cinnamon in a 13x9 casserole dish or a 10" pie plate. Mix together and set aside.
Using a mixer, beat eggs for 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup sugar, mleted butter, vanilla, and sour cream. Beat until combined
Add flour and salt.
Pour batter over fruit, covering fruit entirely.
Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon together; sprinkle cinnamon sugar over batter.
Bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Serve warm or at room temp.

ReplyDeleteOh Louanne what gorgeous pics and what a delicious-looking cake. The perfect cake for this time of year. How Easy Is That is another book on my wish list. Thank you so much for sharing this yummy dessert with Cookbook Sundays. Have a great week!

Louanne, this cake just looks positively gorgeous - I know that I would love this. Of course, cranberries are not in season here right now, so I'm bookmarking this for next year. In the meantime, do you think you could use frozen cranberries (I'm pretty sure I can get those right now)? Also sounds like maybe How Easy is That is a book I need to get.
