Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray or unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 medium apples (I used a mix of green and Pink Lady apples)
1 1/2 cups vegetable or canola oil
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
One 11-ounce package caramels, preferably Kraft Caramels
1/4 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease and flour a 9- or 10-inch Bundt pan.
  • Mix together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Peel, core and dice 3 cups apples. Set aside.
  • Blend the oil, sugars and vanilla in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in a stand mixer until well mixed. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. The batter will be very thick. Fold in the apple pieces. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan to a cooling rack.
  • For the caramel sauce: Meanwhile, heat the caramels and milk in a saucepan on medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the caramels are completely melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then drizzle over the cake just before serving.

  • Note: The cake is best made several hours before serving, or better yet, the night before.

FRESH APPLE CAKE BY MEMOM



Fresh Apple Cake by MeMom image

I store my cake in a plastic cake carrier turned upside down. The icing will run off, therefore a regular cake plate will not work unless you have one with high sides. This cake is much better the day after. It is so very moist. It is even better if you put your slice in the microwave for 10 seconds to just have it warm. My family would disown me if I did not have this cake for holiday get-togethers. Nothing better with a cup of coffee.

MRS. VOLLMER'S GERMAN APPLE CAKE



Mrs. Vollmer's German Apple Cake image

This comes from the St. David's School Cookbook (1974) and I have been making it now for thirty years. It's wonderful for parties; it's very elegant and rich, and really extraordinarily delicious. The pastry--which is really like shortbread--is good enough to eat by itself; the combination makes for a great dessert. It is rich enough that it doesn't need whipped cream (though I wouldn't stop anyone from adding some).

Time 1h30m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb sweet butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 -5 cups unbleached white flour
5 lbs apples (I recommend a combination of Granny Smith and Mackintosh)
8 ounces apricot jam
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup slivered almonds (optional)

Steps:

  • For the crust:.
  • Blend the softened butter with the sugar thoroughly.
  • When creamy, add egg yolks vanilla and salt.
  • Mix well.
  • Blend in flour gradually, mixing lightly by hand until a homogenous mass.
  • Pat dough into a 12" rectangular pyrex baking dish until it is evenly distributed over the bottom and part way up the sides.
  • For the filling:.
  • Peel and core apples and slice them into fairly thin slices.
  • Sprinkle the slices with lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar as you go, placing them into a bowl, until all the apples are sliced.
  • Warm the jam.
  • If it is in a glass jar, loosen the lid and place the jar in a small pot of water, with the water coming half way up the side of jar.
  • Simmer over low heat until jam is soft.
  • Spread half the jam on the surface of the crust, and then place the apples, slightly overlapping, in as many rows as the bottom will take.
  • If you are using Mackintosh apples, they will shrink more and tend to break.
  • Keep your prettiest slices for the top, and arrange them attractively.
  • Using a pastry brush, spread the rest of the jam across the the top of the cake.
  • Sprinkle the top with almonds (I always leave this out unless I'm making it for a certain person).
  • Bake in a 350° oven for about an hour, until crust and apples are golden.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • To make sure the crust doesn't get soggy, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. You should have about 1 inch of space around the edges.
  • Brush the edges of the crust with milk or egg wash before baking. This will help the crust brown and give it a nice shine.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. The temperature will vary depending on the recipe, so be sure to check the instructions carefully.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give the filling time to set and the crust time to firm up.

Conclusion:

Apple pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet and tart filling, and warm spices, it's hard to resist. There are many different recipes for apple pie, so you can find one that suits your taste and skill level.
