AMISH APPLE CAKE WITH HOT CARAMEL SAUCE



Amish Apple Cake With Hot Caramel Sauce image

This is one of our favorite cake recipes, originally published in Cooking from Quilt Country by Marcia Adams. I modified the caramel sauce a bit and increased the amount of the sauce since it is so wonderful! The cake keeps well and can be reheated briefly in the microwave. Extra caramel sauce is divine over ice cream!

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup pecans, chopped finely
2 1/2 cups cooking apples, chopped medium coarse (such as Granny Smith or Northern Sprys)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 cup flour
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter.
  • Add the sugar and beat until fluffy.
  • Add egg and beat until blended, then mix in the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Add the flour and stir just until blended.
  • Stir in the apples and nuts.
  • Pour into an oiled 9 inch round cake pan (I use a glass pie plate) and bake for 30 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly in the center.
  • Prepare sauce.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, and salt.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring with a whisk, then remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla and the cream.
  • (The sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated over hot water.) Serve the cake warm with the hot caramel sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.
  • The cake gets better as it ages, keeps for a week in the refrigerator, and also freezes well.
  • It can be reheated in the microwave.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your cake a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will make it easier to slice the apples evenly and will also help to prevent the cake from becoming too mushy.
  • Toss the apples with sugar and cinnamon before adding them to the cake batter. This will help to caramelize the apples and give them a delicious flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the cake to set and will also make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This country apple cake with caramel sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the caramel sauce is rich and decadent. Follow these tips to make the best apple cake you've ever had!
