APPLE AND DATE CRUMBLE CAKE
It may have the word "cake" in the title and you will end up with a cake shaped dessert, but in reality this is a recipe for an honest to goodness, old fashioned, winter warmer of a PUDDING! I made this for our Sunday meal and my DH thought it was so good he told all his work colleagues about it the next day! I think this pud works best with lashings of hot custard, but cream is good too! Use good quality 'cookers' (such as Bramleys if you can get them). This recipe comes from the 2005 edition of the annual BBC Good Food "Vegetarian Christmas" magazine.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 375F, 190C, gas mark 5: butter an 8 inch (20cm) round springform tin and base-line with buttered baking parchment.
- To make the crumble topping, sift the flour and ginger into a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs (you don't have to be too precise about this as the topping melts into the cake during baking): stir in the sugar and set aside.
- For the cake mixture, cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy; gradually beat in the eggs one at a time, adding a little of the flour with each egg to prevent curdling: fold the remaining flour and chopped dates into the mixture.
- Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin and when it is all in the tin, finish off by making a slight hollow in the centre with the back of a spoon: layer the sliced apples evenly over the top of the cake mixture, pressing the slices down slightly as you work: scatter the crumble mix over the top.
- Bake for 50 - 60 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean: cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes, then serve warm with custard or cream.

APPLE DATE CRISP
My mother loves to make this old-fashioned dessert, and my father, brother and I love to eat it. Each serving is chock-full of apple slices, crunchy nuts and chewy dates. When the weather is cold, I love to warm up with this dessert. -Karin Cousineau, Burlington, North Carolina

DATE-NUT APPLE CAKE
WE have enjoyed this recipe for many years. It was given to me by a college friend. It looks like a standard fruit cake, but the rich, moist texture of apples, dates, raisins and nuts makes it a very satisfying dessert. A slice of this cake, topped with whipped cream, whipped topping or a big scoop of ice cream will have your guests coming back for more.

APPLE DATE BUNDT CAKE
I found this recipe on another website. I have decreased considerably the amount of sugar originally called for and it is still fairly sweet. It is best made with Fuji or Granny Smith apples.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F, with a rack in the middle of the oven.
- Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Stir in the dates, nuts, and sugar.
- In a large mixer bowl, beat the eggs, oil, applesauce, and vanilla until well blended.
- Peel, core and chop the apples into 1/8" dice, sprinkling with lemon juice as you cut them to prevent discolouration.
- Stir the flour mixture into the eggs.
- The batter will be extremely thick.
- Stir in the apples.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 65 to 75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out with no moist crumbs on it.
- Cool on a rack for 20 minutes and then invert.
Tips:
- For a sweeter cake, use sweeter apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji. For a tarter cake, use Granny Smith apples.
- To make sure the crumble topping is evenly distributed, use a fork to break it up into small pieces before sprinkling it over the apples.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can make the crumble topping by hand. Simply combine the flour, sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a bowl and use your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so start checking the cake after 45 minutes.
Conclusion:
This apple and date crumble cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy apples, the chewy dates, and the crunchy crumble topping make this cake a real crowd-pleaser.
