Ingredients

• 3 medium Sour apples (such as Granny Smith)
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 120 milliliters Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the sour apples. Set the slices aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk in two additions. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange half of the apple slices on top of the batter in a single layer.

Step 8

Spread the remaining batter over the apples, smoothing the surface. Top with the remaining apple slices, slightly overlapping them in concentric circles for a decorative look.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the torte comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the springform and transferring it to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Step 11

Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream.
