NORWEGIAN APPLE CAKE
Though quite straightforward, this recipe for Norwegian apple cake from Nevada Berg's cookbook "North Wild Kitchen" did raise a question. A whole tablespoon of cinnamon? Really? But it was not at all excessive, giving the cake autumnal fragrance and flavor along with a nicely burnished surface. What this recipe also offers is great flexibility. Though it calls for an 8-inch springform, it also worked in a 9-inch and a 10-inch, the latter providing a little less cake in proportion to topping (though no change in cooking time). Larger pans require more fruit. And on that score, in place of apples the recipe works well with fresh figs and peaches. Small purple plums, pears, apricots and even bananas are some other options to consider.

Steps:
- Peel and core apples; slice 1/2-inch thick. Set aside. Use some of the butter to grease an 8-inch springform cake pan. Dust with a little flour. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sift or whisk flour with baking powder. Set aside. In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat granulated sugar with 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) of the butter for several minutes, until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then beat mixture about 3 minutes until creamy. Gradually add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with milk, mixing well after each addition. Transfer batter to pan.
- Arrange the apple slices on top of batter in tight overlapping concentric circles, gently pressing them in a bit. Scatter almonds on top. Dust with brown sugar and cinnamon. Dot with remaining butter. Place in the oven and bake about 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean, the top has browned and feels fairly firm to the touch.
- Allow to cool in the pan until just warm. Remove sides of pan and serve with whipped cream or ice cream. If cake has cooled completely it can be warmed before serving.

Steps:
- 1. Combine brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, spices, soda, baking powder, and nuts in a large bowl.
- 2. Mix eggs, milk, applesauce, melted butter, and cranberries together.
- 3. Pour egg mixture into well in center of dry ingredients and mix quickly. Fill muffin pans three-quarters full and bake.
- 4. Bake at 375 degrees 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe apples: This will ensure that your muffins are moist and flavorful. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when baked.
- Peel and core your apples before grating them: This will make the grating process easier and prevent the muffins from becoming too chunky.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only ⅔ full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time: This will help them to develop a golden brown crust and a moist, tender interior.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
These Norwegian Apple Muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. The muffins are moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a crispy crust. The apple filling is sweet and tart, and the cinnamon sugar topping adds a touch of sweetness and spice. These muffins are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
