MAPLE APPLE CAKE
Steps:
- For the apples: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan and sprinkle with some maple sugar to coat the butter.
- Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the 2 tablespoons butter. Add the apples and maple sugar and stir to combine. Saute until caramelized, but not cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- For the crumble: Mix the cornmeal, flour, oats, light brown sugar, maple sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Add the diced butter and use a fork to mash the ingredients together until they become coarse crumbs.
- For the cake: To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter, maple sugar and syrup and whip until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and creme fraiche, mixing on low speed. Add the flour, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt and stir to combine. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the batter to the prepared springform pan, topping with the sauteed apples. Gently nestle the apples into the cake batter.
- Put the crumble topping over the apple mixture. Put the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly, about 15 minutes, before removing from the pan. Slice into wedges and serve.

I don't remember where I got this recipe but it is so good. I get asked to make these and they are always gone fast. You could sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the icing if you wanted. The icing would also be good on a cake.

Steps:
- Preheat Oven 350 degrees.
- Spray 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
- Combine Cake mix with listed ingredients in a bowl, stirring until evenly mixed. Pour into prepared pan pan, making sure to smooth out the batter until even. Bake about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- While that cooks, prepare the frosting. (The frosting needs to go on the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven, because it is a quick-setting frosting) In a medium saucepan, add 1/2 butter and brown sugar and bring it to a boil. Once it starts bubbling, add in the 1/4 cup of milk and bring up to a boil, stirring frequently to create an even mixture.
- As soon as it starts boiling again, remove the pot from heat and add in the powdered sugar and maple flavoring. Beat with a wooden spoon until it is smooth. If you've timed it right, you should finish with this around the same time as the cake is being pulled from the oven. If it has already set, I stir it rapidly again.
- Pour the frosting over the top of the cake and spread it around to cover the entire surface. This will quickly set and harden.
- Cool completely.
- Enjoy!
MAPLE CAKE
The incomparable flavor of pure maple syrup is reason enough to make this sweet treat; that it is also quick to prepare is an added bonus. Maple syrup is marked and graded by its color, ranging from light to dark -- the darker the color, the more intense the flavor. If you can find grade B, use it here for both the batter and the icing.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan; line with parchment, and butter parchment. Dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, maple syrup, and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; mix in vanilla.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with 2 batches of sour cream; beat until just combined. Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top with an offset spatula. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool 10 minutes. Turn out cake onto rack to cool completely.
- Make the icing: Combine maple syrup and butter in a bowl. Sift in confectionersâ?? sugar, and whisk until combined. Adjust consistency with more syrup or sugar, if necessary. Spread maple icing over top of cake. Let set, at least 15 minutes, before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This includes using real maple syrup, not pancake syrup.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a richer flavor, use a maple buttercream frosting. For a lighter and fluffier frosting, use a whipped cream frosting.
- Decorate the cake with maple leaves, chopped nuts, or sprinkles.
