OT: Anyone have a good apple cake recpe?

This is called a coffee cake, but from the comments I hear at church it is beyond heavenly!

Apple-Nut Coffee Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup shortening 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup dairy sour cream (fat-free or lite works great) 2 cups finely chopped apple

TOPPING-

1/2 cup chopped nuts 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Grease a 9X13 pan (I use two 8 in. round pans) and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In second bowl, cream together granulated sugar and shortening. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour mixture and sour cream alternately to creamed mixture. Fold in chopped apples. Spread in greased pan(s).

TOPPING- Combine nuts, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 min. Serve warm or cooled. Whipped cream makes it even better!

Note- I love the topping and make a double batch to put a nice thick layer on the cake(s).

Being the kind of cook I am (or not!), I rarely print out these recipes

Rita, I got this recipe from a really sweet old gal in 1988. Kind of odd recipe but it is a good cake. Enjoy! I just bought a bunch of fresh apples. I may need to make one of these and Leslie's coffee cake too!

Mrs. Irey Fresh Apple cake Mix together:

2 eggs 2 cups white sugar 1/2 cup oil 1 tsp. vanilla extract Sift together: 2 cups flour 2 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. salt Combine the two mixtures. Stir in: 4 cups green apples (peeled and diced) 1 cup chopped nuts Mix well it will be very thick. You can mix together with your hands it is so thick. Bake in 9"x13" pan (grease and flour) 350 for 50-60 minutes. Icing: 8 oz. cream cheese 1/2 cup butter 1 lb. powdered sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts 1- 5oz. can crushed pineapple well drained Cream butter and cream cheese. beat in the rest. You will only need about half recipe of icing for 9x13 pan. If you like a lot of icing make two layers instead and use whole recipe.

ta muchly, Taria. another goodie to save for autumn here. why do you call it odd? j.

Taria, I am guessing the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temp before you start the icing?

Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.

yup, that makes perfect sense to me. j.

Hey I just made this today!

Apple Upside-Down Gingerbread

3 tablespoons softened butter 4 large tart apples 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup sifted flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda a goodly pinch of salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ginger 1/4 butter or shortening 1/4 cup sugar, white or brown depending on what you have 1 beaten egg 1/2 cup molasses 1/2 cup sour milk

Spread the softened butter over the bottom of a heavy 8x8 baking pan (I usually use either the small cast iron skillet or pyrex) Combine the brown sugar and the full teaspoon of cinnamon. Pare apples and slice them thin. Arrange half the apples over the butter in the pan, sprinkle with half the cinnomon sugar, arrange the other half of the apples over the cinnamon sugar and sprinkle with the second half of the cinnamon sugar. Set over low heat while making the batter.

Cream the butter and sugar together. Sift the remaining dry ingredients together. Add the egg to the shortening mixture and beat very well. Mix the milk with the molasses, and add alternately with the dry ingredients to the shortening mixture, beating madly after each addition. Pour the batter over the apples and bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes until done. Turn out upside down while still a bit warm.
