Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, still warm
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups cake flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups diced peeled Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
Pinch of kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
One 15.25-ounce box yellow cake mix (plus required ingredients)
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • For the crumb topping: Whisk together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, apple pie spice and salt. Add the cake flour and stir with a wooden spoon until dough-like. Set aside in the fridge to cool for 20 minutes.
  • When cool, use your fingers to break apart the mixture into large pea-sized crumbs. Hold in the refrigerator.
  • For the sauteed apples: Heat a small saucepot over medium heat. Add the butter and heat until melted. Add the apples, brown sugar, apple pie spice and salt and saute until the apples are slightly browned and al dente, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Using 2 sheets of parchment, create an overlapping cross in the pan to cradle the cake and make it easy to remove once baked.
  • Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Add the cake batter to the prepared baking dish, then "stud" in a layer of the cooled apples. Bake for about 20 minutes, then remove the baking dish and carefully spread the crumb topping into an even layer over the cake. Bake until the crumbs are golden and a cake tester comes out clean, another 10 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 40 minutes. Once cooled, lift out of the pan using the parchment cradle. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups finely chopped toasted walnuts
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup plain yogurt
2 each Honeycrisp apples

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x12-inch baking dish generously.
  • Whisk flour, sea salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine walnuts, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until walnuts and sugar are thoroughly coated with butter.
  • Cream butter and sugar together in another bowl with a spatula until well blended. Add 1 egg and whisk until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in second egg until thoroughly incorporated. Add vanilla extract and yogurt; whisk together. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; whisk just until flour disappears. Do not overmix.
  • Remove cores from apples. Cut across into 1/8- to 1/4-inch slices. Stack up a few slices, make 1 cut down the center, and dice across into cubes. Add to cake batter, folding in with a spatula until just combined.
  • Spread 1/2 of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter 1/2 of the crumble mixture evenly over the top. Top with the rest of the batter in dollops. Spread carefully to evenly distribute, trying not to disturb the crumbs. Top with the rest of the crumb mixture. Press crumbs into the batter very gently.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick or bamboo skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before slicing and serving.

APPLE AND DATE CRUMBLE CAKE



Apple and Date Crumble Cake image

It may have the word "cake" in the title and you will end up with a cake shaped dessert, but in reality this is a recipe for an honest to goodness, old fashioned, winter warmer of a PUDDING! I made this for our Sunday meal and my DH thought it was so good he told all his work colleagues about it the next day! I think this pud works best with lashings of hot custard, but cream is good too! Use good quality 'cookers' (such as Bramleys if you can get them). This recipe comes from the 2005 edition of the annual BBC Good Food "Vegetarian Christmas" magazine.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces plain flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 ounces butter
6 ounces butter, at room temperature
6 ounces caster sugar (superfine)
3 medium eggs, at room temperature
6 ounces self raising flour, sifted
2 ounces stoned dates, chopped
12 ounces tart baking apples, peeled, cored and sliced

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 375F, 190C, gas mark 5: butter an 8 inch (20cm) round springform tin and base-line with buttered baking parchment.
  • To make the crumble topping, sift the flour and ginger into a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs (you don't have to be too precise about this as the topping melts into the cake during baking): stir in the sugar and set aside.
  • For the cake mixture, cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy; gradually beat in the eggs one at a time, adding a little of the flour with each egg to prevent curdling: fold the remaining flour and chopped dates into the mixture.
  • Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin and when it is all in the tin, finish off by making a slight hollow in the centre with the back of a spoon: layer the sliced apples evenly over the top of the cake mixture, pressing the slices down slightly as you work: scatter the crumble mix over the top.
  • Bake for 50 - 60 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean: cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes, then serve warm with custard or cream.

Tips

- For a crispy crumble topping, use a combination of oats, flour, sugar, and butter. The oats will add texture, the flour will help to bind the ingredients together, the sugar will add sweetness, and the butter will help to create a golden brown color. - To make sure that the apples are evenly distributed throughout the cake batter, toss them with a little bit of flour before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake. - If you don't have any dates on hand, you can substitute raisins or dried cranberries. - To make a vegan version of this cake, use plant-based butter and milk. You can also use a flax egg instead of a regular egg. - Serve the cake warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion

This apple and date crumble cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The apples and dates provide a sweet and tart flavor, while the crumble topping adds a delightful crunch. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
