APPLE SPICE CAKE / BROWN SUGAR FROSTING - SO EASY



Apple Spice Cake / Brown Sugar Frosting - So Easy image

Susan Prescott gave me this wonderful idea from my Chocolate Fudge Cherry Cake comments. It smelled just wonderful baking and is so easy to make. Three ingredients is all you need. I had a spice cake mix, a can of apple pie filling, and eggs. That is it. I then made a simple brown sugar frosting... Hope you try it... Thank you...

1 spice cake mix, i used duncan heinz
1 - 21 oz can apple pie filling - i chopped the slices up a bit

1 1/2 c confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 2. I chopped the apples into about 1 inch chunks. In a medium bowl, add cake mix, three eggs, and the apples with thickening.
  • 3. Using a spatula, mix well. Make sure all is incorporated well, batter will be thick.
  • 4. Spread into cake pan evenly.
  • 5. Bake for 30 minutes. When cake only has 5 minutes left; start the frosting if using.
  • 6. Frosting: In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar and salt. Cook, stirring, until the sugar melts. Add the milk, bring to a boil, and pour into a mixing bowl. Cool for 10 minutes.
  • 7. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat well; if the mixture seems too thin, add more confectioners' sugar. Use the frosting while it is still warm or it will firm up while it cools and you won't be able to spread it. I spread the frosting on the warm cake.
  • 8. You could also add nuts to the cake or frosting! Enjoy!!!!

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 2/3 cups crushed cinnamon graham crackers (about 9 whole crackers)
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, divided
2 tablespoons plus 1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (scant) salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 6-ounce Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
1 1/4cups coarsely chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix graham crackers, 6 tablespoons butter, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in medium bowl. Press mixture evenly onto bottom of prepared dish. Bake crust until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
  • Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and allspice in medium bowl; blend well. Using electric mixer, beat 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, eggs, lemon peel, and vanilla in large bowl until mixture is blended and thick, about 4 minutes. Beat in flour mixture. Fold in apples and walnuts. Spoon batter over crust. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons sugar. Bake cake until golden brown and firm to touch in center, about 38 minutes. Cool cake completely in dish. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a variety of apples that are both sweet and tart, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough, so be sure to mix it only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:
