ISO Apple Cake Recipe

[jenni]

Does anyone have a good apple cake recipe....I'm craving something moist and flavorful, good as a breakfast treat, but quick to whip up. Any ideas out there?

[cjs]

I have a wonderful one, but...not really a quick one. maybe someone will have exactly what you're looking for Jenni.

[Mare749]

Jenni, there are a couple in my mom's recipe files. Give me a little time to look them up and put them in MC, then I'll post them. There is one in particular that was really, really good and I have to figure out which one it was.

Jenni, I was going to recommend the Applesauce Muffins that "someone" posted the other day because I made them and they were very, very good! Went to the thread to find out who posted it, and it was YOU!!!

They were whipped up and baked in about 20-25 minutes! They are very moist and really quick! I used the Musselman's Natural CHUNKY applesauce, not the regular as the recipe calls for. It was nice because the muffins were polka-dotted with the chunks of apple and to get that with your bite was a bonus!

I have some cake recipes, too, and will type them up and post for you.

I have two, but can only find one of them right now. The other one is actually my favourite, but this is a VERY close second. I will post the other later, once I find it.

APPLE CAKE WITH CARAMEL SAUCE
this is a recipe from a friend who was the chef at J's Winery in Sonoma County - it's wonderful.
Serving Size : 12

1 1/2 cup Wesson oil
2 cup sugar
3 eggs
3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 tsps cinnamon
3 cup coarsley chopped Granny Smith apples, UNPEELED
1 cup walnuts
2 tsps vanilla
CARAMEL SAUCE:
1 cup butter
2 cup light brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream

Preheat oven to 325°.
Butter & flour a 10" Bundt pan.
Using an electric mixer, blend together the oil & sugar in a large bowl.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.

Sift flour, soda, nutmeg & cinnamon into egg mixture, beating thoroughly.
The batter will be very stiff.
Fold the apples & walnuts into the batter with a spatula, then stir in the vanilla.
Spoon batter into prepared pan.

Bake for 1 1/4 hours, or till a pick inserted in cake comes out clean.
Place pan on a rack; let cool for about 1 hour.

TO MAKE CARAMEL SAUCE:
Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium heat.
Stir in brown sugar.
When sugar dissolves, add the cream, whisking to form an emulsion.

Gently turn cake out onto a plate.
Pour about 1/2 cup of the warm sauce over the cake to form a glaze.

Serve immediately, with a little of the remaining sauce spooned over each slice, or let the cake cool completely.

The sauce keeps well in frig, but it should be reheated before serving.
