Time 30m

Yield Cuts into 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 16

200g light muscovado sugar
200g softened butter
4 eggs , beaten
100g self-raising flour
100g plain wholemeal flour
2 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp milk
2 tsp ground mixed spice
4 peeled and cored small eating apples (Cox's are ideal)
1 tbsp light muscovado sugar
1 tbsp plain flour
2 tbsp butter
50g roughly chopped blanched hazelnuts
100g butter , softened
140g icing sugar , sifted
drop vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper. In a large bowl, beat all the cake ingredients together until you have a smooth, soft batter.
  • Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Once the cake mix is in the pan, poke into it thick slices from the 4 peeled and cored small eating apples (Cox's are ideal). Then bake for about 30 mins (half way through baking add the streusel mix on top of one of the cakes, see next step below) until golden and the cake springs back when pressed. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, roughly rub together the light muscovado sugar, plain flour and butter. Mix in the roughly chopped blanched hazelnuts. Half-way through baking, sprinkle the streusel mix on top of one of the cakes.
  • To make the filling, beat the butter until smooth and creamy, then gradually beat in icing sugar. Beat in vanilla extract if you're using it. Spread the butter cream over the bottom of the sponge that doesn't have the streusel on top and sandwich the two halves of the cake. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.

SO EASY AND TASTY APPLE STREUSEL



So Easy and Tasty Apple Streusel image

"Crisp fall apples, tossed in cinnamon and baked with delicious streusel. Almost as good as pie, with half the calories and it's in the oven in 10 minutes! Plus, it can be served warm with ice cream, and the smaller size means it won't be there to tempt you later. Enough for a small mini casserole dish that will serve 3-4 people. Double the recipe for an 8x8 pan, quadruple it for a 9x13 pan". Unless you double the batch and use a bigger pan, in which case, it's a great breakfast topping for oatmeal! Enjoy! Adapted from Penzey's spices and the intro is what they said about the recipe. A little history: In baking and pastry making, the term streusel (a German word meaning "something scattered or sprinkled", from the verb streuen, akin to the English verb 'strew') refers to a crumb topping of butter, flour, and white sugar (traditional German) that is baked on top of muffins, breads, and cakes (e.g. Streuselkuchen). Some modern recipes add various spices and occasionally chopped nutmeats. Although the topping is of German origin, it is sometimes referred to as Danish or Swedish.

Time 40m

Yield 3-4 , 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large fall apples (Cortland or McIntosh are both great)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup cold butter (4 tbls. or 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Grease the bottom only of a small (4 cups or so) casserole dish. Peel and core the apples, slice and place in a bowl. Top with sugar, cinnamon and vanilla, toss to coat. Set aside while preparing topping.

  • Put the seasoned apples into the pan, top generously with the streusel, and bake at 350° about 30 minutes, or until the streusel is golden brown and the apple is starting to bubble up through the topping.
  • Serve and enjoy!

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/4 c oats
1/4 c butter, softened
1 1/2 c walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Sprinkle walnuts onto a cookie sheet and roast for 7-8 minutes. Set a side.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the apples. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Make sure the streusel topping is evenly distributed over the apples. This will help it to brown evenly.
  • Serve the streusel dessert warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
