"This is the first dessert Mom would make when apples were ready to pick," writes Antoinette Kilhoffer from Ridgeway, Pennsylvania. "One bite of this old-fashioned country cake will have you coming back for more. A boxed cake mix makes it very easy, but it tastes like it's made from scratch."

Categories     Cake     Milk/Cream     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Lemon     Apple     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the shortcakes
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar plus additional for sprinkling the shortcakes
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1 cup well-chilled heavy cream plus additional cream or milk for brushing the shortcakes
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the caramel apples
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream, heated
5 tart cooking apples such as Granny Smith (about 2 pounds)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Make the shortcakes:
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Into a bowl sift together the flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, the baking powder, and a pinch of salt and stir in zest. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat 1 cup of the cream with the vanilla until it just holds soft peaks. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, add the whipped cream, and with a fork combine the mixture until it just forms a dough. On a lightly floured surface knead the dough 6 times, or until it is just combined well, roll or pat it out 1/2 inch thick, and with a floured 4-inch cutter cut out a total of 6 rounds, gathering and rerolling the scraps. Brush the rounds with the additional cream or the milk and sprinkle them with the additional sugar. Bake the shortcakes on a greased baking sheet in the middle of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden, transfer them with a spatula to a rack, and let them cool.
  • Make the caramel apples:
  • In a dry heavy skillet cook 1/2 cup of the sugar over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt and cook the sugar, stirring with a fork, until it is melted completely and turns a golden caramel. Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the cream carefully. Return the skillet to the heat and whisk the caramel sauce until it is smooth. In a large heavy skillet cook the apples, each peeled, cored, and cut into 8 slices, in the butter over moderately high heat, stirring, until they are browned lightly, add the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and cook the apples until they are soft and caramelized. Add the sauce to the apples and stir the mixture carefully.
  • Break each shortcake in half, arrange 2 halves on each of 6 dessert plates, and spoon the apples over them.
