Amish Apple Cake Recipes

AMISH APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. In a medium mixing bowl, peel, core and chop your apples, then pour the 1/2 cup apple juice over them and set aside.
• 2. In another bowl, mix together the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice; add to the apples and toss to mix.
• 3. In a large mixer bowl, beat together the sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla for 2 minutes until creamy and light yellow in color. Add this mixture gradually to the apple mixture, stirring well after each addition.
• 4. Add the pecans and blend. Pour into a 9x13 pan. Bake 1 hour, or until done and the cake springs bake when touched in center.

AMISH APPLE CAKE WITH HOT CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter.
• Add the sugar and beat until fluffy.
• Add egg and beat until blended, then mix in the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Add the flour and stir just until blended.
• Stir in the apples and nuts.
• Pour into an oiled 9 inch round cake pan (I use a glass pie plate) and bake for 30 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly in the center.
• Prepare sauce.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, and salt.
• Bring to a boil, stirring with a whisk, then remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla and the cream.
• (The sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated over hot water.) Serve the cake warm with the hot caramel sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.
• The cake gets better as it ages, keeps for a week in the refrigerator, and also freezes well.
• It can be reheated in the microwave.
