OLIVE OIL CAKE WITH HONEYED APPLES

Steps:

• Prepare the apples: Combine the wine, water, granulated sugar, honey, lemon zest and vanilla bean and seeds in a wide medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar, about 5 minutes. Add the apples, stir to combine and simmer until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully remove the apples with a slotted spoon to a large plate or small rimmed baking sheet. Continue to rapidly simmer the syrup until slightly thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Remove the vanilla bean. Transfer the apples and syrup to a shallow bowl and refrigerate until cold.
• Meanwhile, make the cake: Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Brush a 9-inch round cake pan with olive oil; line the bottom with parchment paper and brush the parchment with olive oil. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Put the granulated sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until fully combined, about 1 minute. Add the olive oil and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Beat in the lemon juice, honey and vanilla extract. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in two additions until smooth.
• Pour the batter into the pan and tap against the counter once or twice to remove any air bubbles. Bake until the top of the cake is golden brown and the center springs back when gently pressed, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 15 minutes in the pan, then turn out the cake onto the rack, remove the parchment and let cool completely.
• Transfer the cake to a platter and dust with confectioners' sugar. Cut into wedges and serve with the apples and syrup.

HONEY CRISP APPLE PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Wash peel core and slice apples into thin slices. This is basice Apple Pie recipe. I did a bit of research to learn about these delicious tasting apples, and found they are considered an all purpose apple, so they worked great in my pie, and are great in cakes as well.
• 2. Add apples to a large bowl. Then combine sugar and spices with flour in a separate bowl and stir to blend together.
• 3. Pour sugar mixture over apples, and stir to blend in then sprinkle with the lemon juice and stir till thoroughly mixed together.
• 4. Unroll pie crust and position into a 9 inch glass pie plate. Press down to conform to pie dish.
• 5. Fill pie crust with sliced apple mixture. Then top with second crust. Tuck the edge of top crust to the bottom edge of the base crust then crump together.
• 6. Now brush top of crust with evaporated milk or an egg wash. Make 5 or 6 slits in top of crust so steam can escape during cooking. Then sprinkle top with decorators sugar.
• 7. Place pie plate on a shallow baking sheet to catch any potential drips during baking. Then place in preheated 425 degree oven and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you may want to cover the edge of pie with aluminum foil to prevent over browning of the edges. Then continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until top crust is golden brown.
• 8. Remove pie from oven and allow pie to cool for at least a few hours before cutting. Serve plain as is or with your favorite ice cream.
