Ingredients

• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1 cup Pecans, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch square baking pan or dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and eggs. Beat the mixture using a whisk or electric mixer on medium speed until thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring gently until just combined.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the chopped apples and pecans. Mix well but be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the torte is golden brown and slightly crisp on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.

Step 7

Allow the torte to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes on a wire rack. This dessert can be served warm or at room temperature.

Step 8

Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra touch of indulgence.
