Thinly sliced apples create rich, moist layers of fruit within this cake recipe. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
2 cups sugar |
2 large eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 1/2 pounds granny smith apples (about 4 large), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges |
browned-butter frosting |
dark chocolate frosting, or |
cream cheese frosting |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
2. Stir together butter and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl until blended.
3. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; add to butter mixture, stirring until blended. Stir in apples and 1 cup pecans. (Batter will be very thick, similar to a cookie dough.) Spread batter into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan.
4. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack (about 45 minutes). Spread your choice of frosting over top of cake; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup pecans.
