Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb pippin apples (about 2 medium), peeled, cored, diced
1/4 cup water
2 1/2 cups plus 1 tbsp all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 cup dried currants
1 cup walnuts (about 4 oz), toasted, chopped
2 cups sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tbsp brandy
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
2 8- oz packages cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 tsp maple flavoring
2 cups walnuts, toasted, chopped

Directions:

Make cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour three 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 1 1/2-inch-high sides. Combine apples and water in small saucepan. Cover; simmer over medium-low heat until apples are tender, about 20 minutes. Place in processor; purée until smooth. Cool purée. Sift 2 1/2 cups flour and next 5 ingredients into medium bowl. Toss currants with remaining 1 tablespoon flour in small bowl to coat; mix in walnuts.
Using electric mixer, beat sugar, butter, brandy and vanilla in large bowl until blended. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Beat in half of flour mixture and 1 1/4 cups apple purée, then remaining flour mixture (re-serve any remaining puree for another use). Stir in currants and walnuts. Divide batter among prepared pans.
Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cut around pan sides to loosen cakes; turn out onto racks and cool.
Make frosting: Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until blended. Beat in cream cheese, then maple syrup and flavoring. Chill until beginning to firm, about 20 minutes.
Assemble cake: Place 1 cake layer on platter. Spread with 3/4 cup frosting. Top with second layer; spread with 3/4 cup frosting. Top with third layer. Spread 1 cup frosting in thin layer over cake. Chill 15 minutes. Spread remaining frosting over cake. Press 2 cups walnuts halfway up sides of cake. Chill until frosting is set, at least 30 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.)
