Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 crips & tart apples (I used Pink lady) ((see notes))
150g/ 2/3 cup butter (unsalted, room temperature)
150g / 3/4 cup Golden caster sugar
150g/ 1 1/4 cups Plain (all purpose) flour
3 large eggs
3 tsp Ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg
1 tsp Baking powder
4 tsp Whole (full fat) milk
150g/ 2/3 cup butter (unsalted, room temperature)
165g/ 1 1/2 cups icing (confectioner's) sugar
2 tbsp Maple Syrup
1/4 tsp Sea salt flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 120C/ 240F/ GM 1/2 and line several baking trays with parchment paper
  • Carefully core and peel 3 of the apples and slice into rounds approx 3-4mm thick. Lay the slices out on the baking sheet
  • Do not peal the final apple. Core it and slice into very thin rounds - no thicker than 2mm. Add to the baking sheet
  • Put the tins in the oven and cook for 1 hour, turning after 30 minutes
  • Remove from the oven, let cool, then store in airtight containers until ready to use. The thinner slices will be crisper than the thicker slices - store in separate containers. The apple slices will darken over time, but will keep for several days once cooked
  • Preheat oven 170C/ 325F/ GM3 and grease & line two 6 inch/ 15cm cake tins
  • Finely chop the thick, skinless dried apple slices.
  • Weigh the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg into a bowl and stir briefly
  • Put the butter and sugar into a medium sized bowl and cream, using electric beaters, until fluffy and pale in colour
  • Separate the egg yolks and whites. Add the yolks to the cake batter and put the whites into a small mixing bowl
  • Add the milk to the cake batter and beat until the milk and egg yolks are incorporated
  • Sieve the flour mix into the cake batter and, using a large metal spoon, gently mix it all into the cake batter
  • Stir the chopped dried apples into the mix
  • Whisk the egg white to stiff peaks. Take a large spoonful and fold into the cake batter then fold in the rest of the egg whites very gently
  • Divide the batter between the tins filling to 2/3 full. Avoid the temptation to overfill your tins - just use any excess batter make a cupcake or two
  • Bake for approx 25 minutes until the sponge springs back when lightly pressed or a skewer comes out clean
  • Let cool in the tins for 2 minutes, then remove from the tins, peal off the baking parchment from the bottom of each sponge cake and let cool completely on a wire rack before decorating
  • Use a pestle and mortar to crush the sea salt to a powder
  • Using electric beaters whip the butter and icing sugar together - add the icing sugar 1 tbsp at a time
  • Beat in the maple syrup, followed by the powdered salt
  • Taste - add a little more powdered salt to suit tastes
  • Put one layer of the cake onto a board/ plate and pipe blobs of buttercream around in a circle. Fill in the middle in the same way - use just under half of the buttercream
  • Carefully top with the remaining layer of cake. Pipe a couple of blobs of buttercream onto the top and spread it out thinly to just cover the top of the cake
  • Pipe neat blobs onto the top of the cake in a circle and again, fill in the centre in the same way
  • Take a few of the remaining apple rings and, using scissors, cut into wedges. Use to decorate the top of the cake - poke one into each buttercream peak. Sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon
  • Any remaining slices of apple can be served alongside the cake

CINNAMON-MAPLE APPLESAUCE



Cinnamon-Maple Applesauce image

Applesauce isn't just for babies. Sure, this very basic version is perfect for tender palates, but it also works as the base for many a sweet treat. In the fall you might try swapping in 1 1/2 pounds of pears for half of the apples and a bit of caramel in place of the maple. (Omit the maple syrup if serving with savory foods.) In the summer, swap out some of the apples for red plums for a tangy and a beautifully pink variation that's lovely served over vanilla ice cream. Add a bit of grated ginger and a few plump medjool dates to make a sophisticated purée that would be nice with some whipped cream or even a pork chop. Make extra, as it doubles easily and freezes well, too.

Provided by Samantha Seneviratne

Categories     sauces and gravies

Time 35m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into 2-inch chunks, both tart and sweet varieties like Granny Smith, Gala and Pink Lady
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more as needed
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of kosher salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)

Steps:

  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine apples, lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, maple syrup and cinnamon, cover, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the apples have softened, around 15 minutes. Remove lid and cook for another 5 minutes, until any excess liquid cooks off.
  • For a chunky sauce, use a potato masher to carefully mash the apples. For a smooth sauce, transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse to your desired consistency. If you like a thinner sauce, add up to 1/2 cup of water.
  • Taste and add a bit more maple syrup as necessary. (It will depend on the combination of apples.) Stir in a pinch of kosher salt.

APPLE AND OLIVE OIL CAKE WITH MAPLE ICING



Apple and Olive Oil Cake with Maple Icing image

Categories     Cake     Dessert     Bake     Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur     Raisin     Apple     Birthday     Maple Syrup     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

heaping 1/2 cup / 80 g raisins
4 tbsp water
2 1/4 cups / 280 g all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup / 120 ml olive oil
3/4 cup / 160 g superfine sugar
1/2 vanilla bean
2 free-range eggs, lightly beaten
3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 3/8-inch / 1-cm dice
grated zest of 1 lemon
2 free-range egg whites
confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)
Maple Icing:
7 tbsp / 100 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
scant 1/2 cup / 100 g light muscovado sugar
scant 6 tbsp / 85 ml maple syrup
8 oz / 220 g cream cheese, at room temperature

Steps:

  • 1. Grease an 8-inch / 20-cm springform cake pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. Place the raisins and water in a medium saucepan and simmer over low heat until all of the water has been absorbed. Leave to cool.
  • 2. Preheat the oven to 325°F / 170°C. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and set aside.
  • 3. Put the oil and superfine sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a whisk if you don't have a mixer). Slit the vanilla bean lengthwise in half and, using a sharp knife, scrape the seeds out into the bowl. Beat the oil, sugar, and vanilla together, then gradually add the eggs. The mix should be smooth and thick at this stage. Mix in the diced apples, raisins, and lemon zest, then lightly fold in the sifted dry ingredients.
  • 4. Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl, either by hand or with a mixer, until they have a soft meringue consistency. Fold them into the batter in 2 additions, trying to maintain as much air as possible.
  • 5. Pour the batter into the lined pan, level it with an icing spatula, and place in the oven. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the plan.
  • 6. Once the cake is completely cold, you can assemble it. Remove from the pan and use a large serrated knife to cut it in half horizontally. You should end up with 2 similar disks. If the cake is very domed, you might need to shave a bit off the top half to level it.
  • 7. To make the icing, beat together the butter, muscovado sugar, and maple syrup until light and airy. You can do this by hand, or preferably, in a mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the cream cheese and beat until the icing is totally smooth.
  • 8. Using the icing spatula, spread a layer of icing 3/8 inch / 1 cm thick over the bottom half of the cake. Carefully place the top half on it. Spoon the rest of the icing on top and use the icing spatula to create a wavelike or any other pattern. Dust it with confectioners' sugar, if you like.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients measured and prepped. This will make the process go much smoother. Choose the Right Apples: Use a firm, tart apple for this cake. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices. Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to tell if the cake is done. Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help the frosting set properly. Store the Cake Covered at Room Temperature: The cake will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature.

Conclusion:

This maple apple cinnamon cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The moist and flavorful cake is complemented perfectly by the sweet and tangy frosting. Follow these tips to make the best maple apple cinnamon cake possible.
