Steps:
- TIP:( Use your favorite baking apples a combination of Granny Smiths (for their tart flavor and crisp texture) and Cortlands (for their sweetness and softer texture) is nice. Northern Spies or Ginger Golds are wonderful, if you can get them. ).
- For the filling*: Bring the apple cider to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat about 20 minutes, until reduced to about 2/3 cup.
- For Crust:.
- Combine the flour, salt and sugar, cinnamon in a food processor. Add the butter and shortening, and pulse until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water to the flour mixture. With the machine running, add additional water, a tablespoon at a time, until clumps form. Mold the dough into two balls, shape into disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining dough into a 13-inch round. Roll it up on the rolling pin and unroll it on the top of the pie. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch rim of dough. Fold that under and crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork. Slit the top crust with a knife a few times to let the steam escape. Or you can use a refigerated pie crust mix from the store.
- This pie crust is a lot easier to roll after it has chilled for two hours. It then absorbs less flour when rolled. The lemon juice will tenderize the gluten while baking--there is no need for any special precaution in rolling. The large circle of dough can be easily manipulated into the pan by first folding it in four, and then unfolding right in the pan, where the pan provides support. Your recipe directs the filling to be cooked and added to the rolled dough without saying anything about any cooling time. Using a hot filling makes the pastry get soggy in the oven.
- For the filling: Ingredients:.

MOM'S BEST APPLE CAKE WITH CARAMEL FROSTING
Looking for a way to use up an abundance of apples, I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest and traced it to bunnysoven.com. She gives credit to Examiner.Com, from Anne Marie Hurley, Livonia, Michigan. I took the liberty of tweeking this just a little. What makes this cake killer is the caramel frosting you make and pour over the cake. Make the cake let it cool , make the caramel sauce and pour the hot caramel sauce over the cake. Uh huh, gooey delicious caramel over a moist apple filled cake. It's easy, fast to make and incredibly delicious. This is a keeper!

APPLE CAKE W/ CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I got this recipe from allrecipes.com It is slightly different from the one posted by MustangMom. It doesn't have pecans and the frosting has considerably less powdered sugar, making the cream cheese flavor that much more intense. For the holidays, this cake can be dressed up by adorning it with holly berries. Randomly place clusters of three of red hot candies. Cut several "leaves" from a Granny Smith apple and place one on either side of the clusters.

APPLE SPICE CAKE / BROWN SUGAR FROSTING - SO EASY
Susan Prescott gave me this wonderful idea from my Chocolate Fudge Cherry Cake comments. It smelled just wonderful baking and is so easy to make. Three ingredients is all you need. I had a spice cake mix, a can of apple pie filling, and eggs. That is it. I then made a simple brown sugar frosting... Hope you try it... Thank you...

OLD-FASHIONED APPLE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR FROSTING FROM KAF
This came from a King Arthur Flour site and says: "This cake is an old, old favorite of ours. It's a cake where the whole is definitely more than the sum of the parts. The moist, semi-chunky cake, spread with the frosting equivalent of brown sugar fudge, is perfect served with a cup of coffee or, better still, a glass of ice-cold milk." Not the prettiest cake I've made, but OMG - the flavor is all over it, pretty sure to make my families favorite list

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F Grease and flour a 9" x 13" pan.
- 2) To make the cake: Mix all of the ingredients except the apples and nuts in a large bowl.
- 3) Beat until well combined; the mixture will be very stiff, and may even be crumbly.
- 4) Add the apples and nuts, and mix until the apples release some of their juice and the stiff mixture becomes a thick batter, somewhere between cookie dough and brownie batter in consistency.
- 5) Spread the batter in the prepared pan, smoothing it with your wet fingers.
- 6) Bake the cake for 45 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few wet crumbs clinging to it.
- 7) Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a rack to cool completely; don't remove the cake from the pan.
- 8) To make the frosting: Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and salt and cook, stirring, until the sugar melts.
- 9) Add the milk, bring to a boil, and pour into a mixing bowl to cool for 10 minutes.
- 10) After 10 minutes, stir in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat well; if the mixture appears too thin, add more confectioners' sugar. Spread on the cake while frosting is still warm.
APPLE BACON CREPES WITH MAPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Steps:
- For the frosting: Beat together the butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and maple syrup in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer) until smooth and creamy.
- For the apple-bacon filling: Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until the fat renders out and the bacon becomes crispy. Scoop out the bacon and place on a paper-towel-lined plate. Add the apples to the bacon fat and cook over medium heat until the apples are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the maple syrup and cinnamon and cook until sticky and caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- For the crepe batter: Whisk together the cake mix, milk, egg and egg white in a large bowl until smooth. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet and spray liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle about 3 ounces of batter into the pan and cook over medium heat until the bottom starts to brown and the top of the crepe begins to bubble, 1 to 2 minutes. Work around the edge of the crepe with a rubber spatula to begin to release it from the pan. Gently flip the crepe over, spraying more nonstick spray as needed. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer. Remove the crepe and place on a serving dish. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- To assemble: Spread the filling generously over half of each crepe and top with a few tablespoons of bacon. Fold the tops of the crepe over and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Sprinkle additional bacon on top if desired.

APPLE BUTTER ROLLS WITH HONEY MARZIPAN FROSTING
Steps:
- For the rolls: Combine the milk, yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in a bowl and swirl together. Let sit until foamy on top, about 5 minutes.
- Combine the cinnamon, salt, cardamom and 3 1/2 cups flour in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Whisk together the eggs, oil, honey and vanilla in a medium bowl. Stir the yeast mixture and oil mixture into the dry mixture and then knead, either on a work surface or with the dough hook, adding up to 1 cup more flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky, 15 minutes by hand and 7 to 10 minutes by mixer. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- For the filling: Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and roll it out, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking, into an 18-by-12-inch rectangle. Spread it with the apple butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon and almond paste. Roll up tightly starting from a long end (so that it results in an 18-inch-long roll), and pinch the edges to seal. Cut into 12 rolls and place in the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. (Or cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour, then go right to preheating the oven.)
- When ready to bake, remove the rolls from the refrigerator and loosen the plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature until puffy, 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Beat the egg with a splash of water in a cup. Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish and brush the rolls with the egg wash. Bake until the rolls are lightly browned and have an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
- For the frosting: Meanwhile, blend the blanched almonds in a food processor, scraping the sides occasionally, until creamy and spreadable, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the honey, almond extract, salt and lemon zest and continue to blend (it may clump together at this point, and that's okay) as you drizzle in the milk. Blend until creamy. (This can be made the day before and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.)
- When the rolls come out of the oven, spread them with the frosting, sprinkle with the sliced almonds and serve.

Tips:
- Use the right apples: Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples are the best choices for this frosting because they have a tart flavor that balances out the sweetness of the frosting. If you can only use softer apples, just add a little extra lemon juice to brighten up the flavor.
- Cook the apples until they are very soft: This will help to create a smooth and creamy frosting. You can cook the apples in a saucepan on the stovetop or in the microwave, just be careful not to overcook them or they will turn to mush.
- Drain the apples well: Before you add the apples to the frosting, make sure to drain them very well. This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming too thin.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the apples: This is the easiest way to get a smooth and creamy frosting. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can use a potato masher to mash the apples until they are smooth.
- Add the frosting to your favorite cake or cupcake: Apple frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on all kinds of cakes and cupcakes. It's also a great way to add a little extra apple flavor to your baked goods.
Conclusion:
Apple frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make frosting that is perfect for fall baking. It's made with fresh apples, sugar, butter, and cream cheese, and it has a smooth and creamy texture. Apple frosting is also very versatile and can be used on all kinds of cakes and cupcakes. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive frosting, give apple frosting a try.
