I like unusual desserts like this one, says Mavis Diment of Marcus, Iowa. Judging from the condition of my recipe card, this must be very good - a messy, well-worn card shows I've made this cake countless times. Ingredients:
1 jar (14 ounces) spiced apple rings |
6 tablespoons butter, softened |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted |
1 egg |
1/2 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
whipped cream, optional |
Directions:
1. Drain the apple rings, reserving 1 tablespoon syrup; set apple rings aside. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter; stir in brown sugar and reserved syrup until smooth. Spread evenly in a greased 9-in. round baking pan; sprinkle with almonds. Top with apple rings; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg, milk, vanilla and remaining butter. Combine flour, sugar and baking powder; gradually add to egg mixture until well blended.
3. Spoon over apple rings. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm. Serve with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
