Yield Makes 9 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 24

For caramelized apples
8 Gala apples (3 1/2 pounds)
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
For cake
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup dark amber or Grade B maple syrup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
For cream
1 1/4 cups chilled heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons sugar
Special Equipment
an 8-inch square nonstick cake pan (2 inches deep)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter and flour cake pan, knocking out excess flour.
  • Make caramelized apples:
  • Peel and core apples, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
  • Spread softened butter in an even layer over bottom of a 12-inch heavy skillet and sprinkle with brown sugar. Add apple wedges and cook over moderate heat, without stirring, until sugar is melted and apples start to give off liquid, about 10 minutes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are just tender and juices become syrupy, about 30 minutes more.
  • Pour syrup from skillet into a small heatproof bowl, then sauté apples, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and very tender, about 30 minutes more. Return syrup to apples and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Make cake while apples cook:
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl.
  • Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg until combined. Add maple syrup, sour cream, and vanilla and beat until combined well. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture, then mix until just incorporated.
  • Spread batter in cake pan and bake until cake is golden brown and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes.
  • Make cream just before serving:
  • Beat cream with sour cream and sugar using cleaned beaters at high speed until it just holds soft peaks.
  • To serve:
  • Run a thin knife around edge of pan, then invert cake onto a plate and cut into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with warm apple mixture and cream.

APPLE SPICE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE



Apple Spice Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze image

This is a very simple and quick apple cake that I make time and time again. Great on it's own - even better with a little dollop of freshly whipped cream. Make sure you let the glaze thicken well and SLOWLY pour the glaze onto the cake, giving it time to soak in.

APPLE SPICE CAKE WITH CARAMEL GLAZE



Apple Spice Cake with Caramel Glaze image

A cinnamon apple cake with buttery, creamy caramel sauce is a genuine crowd pleaser at dessert time. Best of all, you can make the cake and sauce the day before!

Provided by Allrecipes Member

Time 1h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

¾ cup Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter, at room temperature
1 ⅓ cups sugar
3 large eggs Safeway SELECT Organic Large Eggs
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 pound tart apples, such as Newtown Pippin or Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter
½ cup Lucerne Whipping Cream
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter with sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well blended. In another bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to butter mixture; stir on lowest speed to incorporate, then beat until well blended. With a spoon, stir in the chopped apples. Scrape batter into a greased and floured 10-cup plain or decorated tube pan.
  • Bake in a 325 degree F oven until cake is golden brown and top springs back when lightly pressed, about 1 hour. Cool cake in pan on a rack for 30 minutes. Invert a serving platter onto pan, then hold together and turn over to release cake; lift off pan. When cake is cold, wrap airtight and let stand at room temperature up to 1 day.
  • In a 3- to 4-quart pan, combine brown sugar, Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter, Lucerne Whipping Cream, and ground cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; stir often. Reduce heat and boil caramel gently 5 more minutes; stir occasionally. Transfer to an airtight storage container, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla, then cover and chill up to 1 day.
  • Up to 1 hour before serving time, reheat caramel glaze until liquid enough to drizzle: place in a microwave oven on full power for 30 second intervals, stirring; or stir in a pan over medium heat. Spoon half the glaze over cake, letting it drip down the sides. Offer remaining glaze in a small bowl so guests can add more to taste.

Tips:

  • To ensure even baking, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • For a more intense apple flavor, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overcook the caramel glaze. It should be thick and slightly bubbly when it's done.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • Serve the cake immediately or store it covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
