Cooking with Children: Easy Apple cake

Last weekend we went apple picking and returned home with 10lbs of apples. So we decided to try a very very easy apple cake recipe that came in one of the kids' French magazine. It is a really easy and fun recipe to do with the kids.

So put on your apron and write it down (or print it out):

You will need:

• 3 apples
• 3 eggs
• 125gr of butter at room temperature
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 cups of flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder

Instructions:

• Peel and cut the apple in small cubes 
• Mix together the eggs and the sugar in a large bowl 
• Add the butter, the flour, baking powder and finally the apples. Mix everything well (you should have a very sticky dough). To make it more fun, you can ask the kids to mix everything with their hands. We did it and that's why we don't have pictures of the other steps.
• Cover your baking pan (I chose a square one) with a baking sheet
• Bake for 40min in the oven, previously heated at 360F.

I thought the cake was a little too sweet for my taste. So I would maybe put a little less sugar next time.

Hope you like it!
