POLISH APPLE CAKE (JABLECZNIK)



Polish Apple Cake (Jablecznik) image

This is an excellent recipe that I happen to alternate every time I make it with different nuts, dried fruit, and flours (always works out though.) It was adapted from a recipe I saw in one of grandmother's magazines while in Poland over this past Christmas. This recipe is literally a Polish apple pie, except the dough is mixed with the apples. Hope you enjoy!!

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 medium apples
1/4-1/2 cup sugar (1/2 cup is preferred by most people)
3/4 cup raisins (or craisins)
3/4 cup toasted almond
2 eggs
2 tablespoons flax seed meal (ground up flax seeds)
1/2 cup oil
2 cups flour (my Gluten-Free Flour MIX #53741 works well)
1/2 cup oats (quick cooking)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
ground cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash and coarsely chop the apples (no need to peel), place in a LARGE bowl and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Some lemon juice may be poured on top of apples also.
  • Set Aside Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix the flour, oats, baking soda and baking powder in a medium bowl.
  • (add cinnamon if using.) In a separate bowl mix the eggs, flax meal, and oil, and extract together.
  • Add this mixture to the flour mixture.
  • Mix well.
  • Add this dough to the apples, along with the nuts and raisins.
  • MIX VERY WELL!
  • The apples WILL get incorporated into the dough.
  • Add a bit more flour if the mixture is extremely wet (but it WILL be wet).
  • Put into a large pan (15x10-inch pan works well) and smooth out the top so it flat.
  • Bake for around 1 hour (no longer though).
  • Top should look fairly browned.
  • Take out of the oven and Cool in the pan.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the butter and flour together with a cheese grater.
  • Make sure the butter and water are very cold before incorporating them into the dough.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apples thinly and evenly.
  • If you want a sweeter cake, add more sugar to the filling.
  • For a tangy flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the filling.
  • If you don't have vanilla extract, you can substitute almond extract or rum extract.
  • Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apples before baking.
  • Bake the cake until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  • Let the cake cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
