Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2-3 cups apples, peeled, cored, chopped
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup nuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 350 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle apples with sugar and let stand.
  • Mix beaten egg and butter.
  • Sift in flour, soda, salt and cinnamon and mix very well.
  • Fold into apples and make sure the apples are well and evenly coated.
  • Mix in raisins and, if desired, nuts.
  • Note: we use raisins which have been soaked in bourbon.
  • Note 2: If using regular raisins, make sure you plump them in warm water or rum or the like, then drain before adding.
  • Place in a buttered 8" x 8" square baking dish or in a buttered bundt pan and bake for about 50 minutes.
  • Cool briefly on rack in pan; turn out of the pan and allow to cool to room temperature on a rack.
