MILOPITA - GREEK APPLE COFFEE CAKE



Milopita - Greek Apple Coffee Cake image

Posted for ZWT6 Greek Region: In Greek: μηλόπιτα, pronounced mee-LOH-pee-tah The website I found for easy authentic Greek dishes recommends using Golden Delicious apples in this recipe, but if you have a favorite apple you prefer for baking, use it. The recipe is easy to make, and uses olive oil, making it a great choice for those who don't eat dairy products. ** Carrot Cake: Substitute 1 1/2 cups of finely grated carrots for the apples to make a delicious Greek version of carrot cake.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2 ½ cups white sugar, divided
¼ stick unsalted butter, melted
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup raisins
1 ½ cups olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
5 eggs, separated
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 apples, grated
1 tablespoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line an 11-inch round baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine sliced apples, 1/2 cup white sugar, butter, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Mix together gently, being careful not to break apple slices. Pour sugary juice from the apple mixture into the prepared baking pan. Arrange sliced apples on top in a circle. Sprinkle raisins on top of apples and pour any remaining juice over all.

  • Remove cake from oven and allow to cool, about 30 minutes. Invert cake onto a serving plate.
