Provided by Betty Gold

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 cups thinly-sliced, unpeeled apples (about 6-8 depending on size), such as Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Braeburn, Jonagold, McIntosh, or Pink Lady
0.33 cup all purpose flour
0.33 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
0.5 teaspoon allspice
2 batches Basic Flaky Pie Crust , chilled
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into 3 pieces
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine the apples, flour, sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice and toss gently until combined.
  • Roll one batch of pie dough into an 11-12-inch round. Gently fit the dough into a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Fill with the apple mixture, mounding it slightly in the center. Dot with butter. Roll out the second batch of dough and place it over the pie. Trim the edges, then crimp with your fingers or a fork.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut small vents in the top crust. Brush the entire surface with beaten egg, then sprinkle with turbinado sugar if using. Place pie on a baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake for 15 minutes, until crust is just beginning to brown, then lower temperature to 375°F and bake until filling is bubbling and crust is deep golden brown, 45-50 minutes more.

Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups white sugar
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 medium Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup chopped walnuts
½ cup butter or margarine
2 teaspoons milk
½ cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch Bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; stir into the batter just until blended. Fold in the apples and walnuts using a spoon. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the crown or the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes then invert on to a wire rack.
  • Make the glaze by heating the butter, milk and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: To ensure the best flavor and texture, select apples that are firm and crisp, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Peel the apples thinly: Removing the skin too thickly can result in the apples breaking apart during baking.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice helps prevent the apples from browning and adds a bright flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the pan with apple slices.
  • Baste the apples regularly: Basting the apples with the caramel glaze during baking helps keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely: Before serving, allow the cake to cool completely to allow the flavors to meld and the caramel glaze to set.

Conclusion:

With its combination of sweet, tart, and buttery flavors, this fresh apple cake with caramel glaze is a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a tender crumb and a delicious caramel glaze that perfectly complements the fresh apples. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
