This easy recipe uses boxed spice cake mix ( I like Duncan Hines) and makes individual little cakes baked in a muffin tin. Originally from the Food section of the October 29, 2008 Houston Chronicle. Ingredients:
1 (18 ounce) box spice cake mix |
3 eggs |
1/3 cup applesauce |
1 1/3 cups apple juice |
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 1/2 sticks) |
3/4 cup pecans, chopped (divided use) |
1/4 cup brown sugar (divided use) |
4 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine cake mix,eggs,applesauce,and juice in a large bowl with a mixer.
3. Using a large cupcake tin, place 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 tablespoon pecans, and 1 teaspoon brown sugar in each cup.
4. Layer 4 to 6 apple slices on top of brown sugar, then pour about 1/3 cup batter on top.
5. Repeat to make 11 more cakes.
6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean,.
7. Allow cakes to cool for 10 minutes.
8. Flip the cakes onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Serve warm or cooled.Great with a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream on the side!
