There's plenty of recipes for this cake listed, but I think this one sounds a little different. It looks fairly simple and baked in a loaf pan. It would be a great take along for potlucks or just an easy snack for the family. Now that our apple trees are full and ripe, it's a great time to try this out. As an update, finally got around to trying this and loved it. Simple, with a nice presentation and very good. I did add a cup of chopped pecans as we love nuts and everyone enjoyed it. Don't make the mistake I did though - be aware that the divided sugar puts 3 Tablespoons in the apples and then the 1 cup goes in the batter. Ingredients:
3 cups tart apples, such as granny smith, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick about 3 medium size apples |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 cup sugar |
2/3 cup butter, softened |
4 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In large bowl, combine apples, 3 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon; let stand for 1 hour.
2. In large mixing bowl, cream butter and remaining sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
4. Add vanilla.
5. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and beat until smooth.
6. Pour into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
7. Push apple slices vertically into batter, placing them close together.
8. Bake at 325°F for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
9. Cool for 10 minutes in pan before removing to a wire rack.
10. Serve warm.
