Norwegian Apple Cake
In the beginning of fall in Norway local apples is available in most supermarkets now. It’s just perfect to make this for your friends, and invite them over for Norwegian delight.
This is one of our favorite cakes in Norway. Super easy to make, and so good that you might make another one next week as well.
I recommend serving the apple cake warm fresh out of the oven. Maybe let the cake sit for 5 minutes to cool off, but the whipped cream or ice cream should melt all over the cake.

Dear Chef Norway I have attempted to make norwegian apple cake and hopefully it will taste as lovely from when I went to Norway to visit my cousins and she made a Norwegian apple cake it was very delicious
Best wishes
Anna Engen
This should be very good, and if you want to up the taste I did publish a recipe with blackberries in with the apples. This is what I usually make now as a cake guests wont get anywhere else.
Hello Chef Norway…can this cake be frozen?
Absolutely!
I made the apple cake which was delicious, but the edges got overdone while waiting for the center to cook. Would decreasing temp to 325 and baking longer help ? Any suggestions? Thank you very much.
Christine
Each baking oven could be different. You could try placing a baking sheet on top of the cake the when you see it has gotten the golden brown color. This allows you to bake it for longer without burning the edges or any other part of the cake.
I am happy you like this recipe. I hope to find time to publish more soon.
