A delightful dessert combining the comforting flavors of cinnamon and apples, perfect for any occasion.
Grate the fresh apples into coarse shreds.
Grating the apples coarsely ensures they retain some texture in the final bake.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Preheating the oven ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and honey.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding the wet ones for an even batter.
Cream the butter in a separate bowl until smooth and fluffy.
Using room temperature butter makes creaming easier and more effective.
Blend the creamed butter into the flour mixture until well incorporated.
Fold the mixture gently to avoid overmixing, which can make the batter dense.
Stir in the grated apples and mix until evenly distributed.
Ensure the apples are evenly mixed for consistent flavor in every bite.
Transfer the batter into an oven-proof dish, spreading it evenly.
Lightly grease the dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, covering with foil after 20 minutes if the top browns too quickly.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serving warm enhances the comforting flavors of the dessert.
