Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- To make the cake, cream the sugar and shortening together in a mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a second bowl. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in the apples and walnuts until evenly blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
- To make the topping, place the milk, margarine, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir to dissolve the brown sugar, and cook until the margarine melts. Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a baking sheet to prevent spillovers. Pour the topping over the cake.
- Return the cake and baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool to room temperature before serving.

FLUFFY SWEDISH APPLE CAKE
This is a favorite cake in Sweden. It's a simple, buttery cake filled with cinnamon-sugar apple slices. It reminds me of a pound cake, but with a yummy apple cinnamon topping. The presentation is made really pretty by arranging the apple slices. You can serve this as a coffee cake or as a dessert. You can re-heat slices in the microwave if you like it warmed.

SWEDISH APPLE CAKE - APPELKAKA
Posted for ZWT6 Scandinavian Region - Sweden. Oh boy does this sound heavenly. I can't wait to try it out. If you do not have biscotti you can process into crumbs they state you can use almond rusk crumbs, zwieback crumbs, or fine dry bread crumbs (even though I don't think I'd like the idea of bread crumbs - just my opinion).

Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, grease and line a 20cm cake tin with a removable base. 2. With an electric hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until pale. 3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until they are incorporated. 4. Fold through the flour, baking powder, salt, cardamom and cinnamon until you have a thick cake batter. 5. Stir through the apple and pour the batter into the cake tin. 6. The batter will be thick, so use a spatula to spread across the base of the tin. 7. Spread the almonds of top of the cake and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Cover with tin foil if the almonds brown too much. 8. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. 9. As the cake is cooling, heat the jam in a saucepan until runny and brush over top of the cake.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your cake a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream. This will make it even more delicious!
