GRANNY SMITH APPLE CAKE
Slightly modified version of a recipe in Everyday Food magazine. This cake is SO good, especially while it's still warm (or reheated). Great for breakfast. Or topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. I choose Granny Smith apples for their tartness and because they hold their shape after baking. The apples come out completely soft after baking. I love the tartness of the apples mixed with the sweetness of the cake. Optional: Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts if desired. Note: The original recipe called for 1/2c of butter, but I reduced that to 1/4 and added in 1/4 applesauce to lower the fat in the recipe. You won't even miss the extra butter at all.

GRANDMA'S FRESH APPLE CAKE
Moist cinnamon cake enfolding sliced fresh apples makes a delicious dessert or wholesome snack cake. This recipe came from my mother, Ann. I have cut the sugar down to 1 cup, as most modern apples are sweet enough to not need the original 2 cups called for. I like to replace 1 cup of all purpose flour with 1 cup whole wheat flour.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven at 180 C.
- In a bowl work the butter to a creamy consistency (an electric mixer would make it easier). Gradually add the sugar, eggs, vanilla essence, salt, juice and zest of the lemon. Incorporate well then add the flour, the cornflour and the raising agent. Stir well and add the milk.
- You should get a mixture which falls heavily from the spoon, not to runny, not too thick.
- Pour it all in a round cake tin.
- Peel and slice the apples into quarters, scrape them with a fork and lay them on the cake.
- Put the cake on the lower rack of the oven and cook for about 45 minutes.
- Switch the oven off, take the cake out but leave the oven door shut.
- Stir the jam with the hot water and when the cake is cooked spread it all over it and put it back into the hot oven for 5-10 minutes.
GRANDMA'S APPLE CAKE
This was a massive hit when i was growing up. My grandma would make this weekly and as visitors called she would have orders to make her guests a cake for the following week. She served it with custard, vanilla ice cream or fresh cream and all were equally delicious! This was a great cake to eat during the winter served hot with custard. I have now started to add a handful of flaked almonds, sprinkled on top of the cake (just before it goes in the oven) The addition of the flaked almonds, seems to be an even bigger hit! Enjoy!

GRANNY SMITH APPLE CAKE
This recipe is modified from one published in the Cedar Rapids Gazette back in the early 1990's. Like all "Cake-Mix" cakes, it is a breeze to prepare, but it looks and tastes like you labored in the kitchen for hours! It is lovely topped with either vanilla or cinnamon icing and goes great with a fresh cup of coffee. It also keeps very well.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe apples and oranges for the best flavor.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before creaming them together.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift the flour before adding it to the batter. This will help to prevent lumps.
- Gently fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will result in a tough cake.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake the cake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting, if desired.
