Ingredients
7/8 cup sugar
4oz. unsalted butter, or margarine
2 eggs
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1-2 apples, unpeeled, cored, cut into quarters, then twelfths
Sugar & cinnamon
Preparation
Mix sugar and butter. Add eggs and mix until batter is smooth. Mix flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and add to batter. Mix on medium and pour batter into ungreased baking pans. Put sliced apples in two concentric circles on top of the batter. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and sugar.
Bake in preheated oven @ 350 for 35-55 minutes, depending on the oven and the size of the baking pan. Bake until lightly crusted. You can use a 9 “spring form pan for a large torte, or small pie plates for smaller tortes. Serve warm or cold with ice cream. Serves 6-10 depending on size of torte.
The apple torte can also be made with ½ whole wheat and ½ white flour, giving the torte a lighter color and texture when baked while the torte made with all whole wheat flour has the healthy whole grain appeal.
