This simple apple cake uses both wheat and white flour. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups sugar, divided |
4 cups diced apples, i prefer granny smith, but you can use what is on hand. it usually takes about 3 medium |
1 cup white flour |
1 cup wheat flour |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon allspice |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or spray and flour your pan. I either use a 9X13 or a bundt pan.
2. Core and chop the apples first so that you can put the sugar on them to extract part of the juice from the apples. Sprinkle 1 C sugar over the apples in a 4 C measuring cup if you have one, otherwise just in a bowl.
3. Cream the butter, 3/4 C sugar and eggs till smooth. Add remaining ingredients, except apples. Mix until smooth. Will be very stiff. Add apples. If not much juice has formed, like less than 1/4 cup, add about 1/4 cup water to rinse out the bowl or measuring cup. I live in the rockies so it is really arid here.
4. Spread in pan to fill evenly.
5. Bake for 30- 40 minutes. Check middle of pan to see if done. If pick or spagetti comes out clean, then it is done. Cool slightly and serve. Can serve with a sauce, (rum, vanilla, caramel, and lemon are good), ice cream, or whipped cream. Or in your hand. Nuts are a favorite addition of many people, but we don't like them in our family so I never add them.
