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!

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 fresh apples. Fresh apples will give your cake the best flavor and texture. If you can, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the apples from browning and will make them easier to slice.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice your apples. This will help to prevent the apples from bruising and will make them easier to slice evenly.
  • Toss the apples with sugar and spices before adding them to the batter. This will help to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the cake.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at a moderate temperature. A moderate temperature will help to prevent the cake from drying out.
  • Serve the cake warm with caramel sauce. Caramel sauce is the perfect complement to this classic apple cake.

Conclusion:

This old-fashioned apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet-tart flavor, and caramel sauce, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a classic dessert to make, give this old-fashioned apple cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
