WALNUT, RAISIN, APPLE BARS



Walnut, Raisin, Apple Bars image

I made these yesterday and took them to a Labor Day Cookout and everyone thought they were delicious. I got the recipe from Family Circle Magazine, but I made a few changes. It called for dried apples but I used fresh ones and it didn't have walnuts in it, which I think goes so well with apples. This is going to be a keeper

WALNUT-RAISIN BAKED APPLES



Walnut-Raisin Baked Apples image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 apples, halved and cored
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Core and halve 2 apples, top with these ingredients, and bake at 350 degrees until tender, 30 minutes. If apples get too brown, tent with foil.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, crisp apples: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples are good choices, as they hold their shape well when baked.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Grease and flour the cake pan: This will help the cake come out of the pan easily.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting: Cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for apple cake. It's rich and creamy, and it complements the tartness of the apples.
  • Sprinkle with chopped walnuts before serving: Chopped walnuts add a nice crunch and flavor to the cake.

Conclusion:

Apple raisin walnut cake is a delicious and classic fall dessert. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist, tender crumb, sweet and tart apples, and crunchy walnuts, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
