Apple Cake King Arthur Recipes

FRENCH APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch springform or regular cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. If using a regular cake pan, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and grease again.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Using a handheld mixer with beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and rum. Don't worry if the batter looks grainy at this point; that's okay. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chopped apples.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and even the top. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a rack in the pan. Once cool, run a blunt knife around the edges of the cake. If using a springform pan, remove the sides. If using a regular cake pan, carefully invert the cake onto the rack, remove the parchment paper, then gently flip the cake over and place right-side-up on a platter. Using a fine sieve, dust with confectioners' sugar (if using). Cake can be served warm or room temperature, plain or with lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
• Freezer Friendly Instructions: The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or freezer wrap. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

GLUTEN FREE APPLE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Using a paper towel and crisco, thoroughly and generously grease your bundt pan then flour it using gluten free flour. Be sure all of the crevices are floured and that you dump out any excess flour.

APPLE CAKE, KING ARTHUR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Butter a 9 ½" to 10" (2" deep) cast-iron skillet; or a 9" square cake pan.
• Combine the apples with the brown sugar, apple juice concentrate (do not dilute), spices, and salt. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Mix the warm milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture, stirring to combine. Pour into the prepared skillet.
• Spoon the apple mixture onto the batter. For the best appearance, make sure the apples are distributed a little more heavily towards the edges of the pan.
• Sprinkle with coarse sparkling sugar, if desired.
• Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, till it's light brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven, and cool for about 5 minutes.
• Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan, and cool for another 20 minutes or so.

APPLE CRUMBLE, KING ARTHUR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.
• Place them in a bowl with the remainder of the filling ingredients and stir vigorously to combine. In the process, the apple pieces will break into smaller bits; this is fine.
• Spoon the apple mixture into a lightly greased 9x9 cake pan, or a ceramic pan of similar capacity and surface area.
• TOPPING:.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, oats, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking powder. Add the butter, cutting it in as you would when making piecrust.
• Mix until crumbly; if you work it too much the mixture will clump together, so use a light touch but be thorough.
• Sprinkle topping over the filling.
• Bake the crumble for 1-1/2 hours or until it's hot and bubbly and a deep, golden brown. Remove it from the oven and let it cool to lukewarm before serving.
