I was looking for a dessert that will please a crowd quickly and easily at any time of year? Look beyond this simple “torta di mele,” or one-bowl Italian apple cake. It simply takes six essential ingredients and 15 minutes to produce this Italian grandmother’s favorite, which is moist, sweet, and attractive.
What’s a Torta di Mele?
Grandmas have been making this simple Italian cake called a torta di mele for generations. It’s light and fluffy, packed with juicy apple slices that are sure to please any palate – especially when they’re topped off by those beautiful pine nuts you’ve probably never seen before! You can usually find all the ingredients at your grocery store or local farmer’s market, so it doesn’t require an extraordinary trip out into town; if not, whip up some whipped cream instead (though we won’t tell anyone). The preparation time is only 15 minutes.
