Time 1h25m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
3 cups apples - peeled, cored and chopped
½ cup chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons margarine
1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • To make the cake, cream the sugar and shortening together in a mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a second bowl. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in the apples and walnuts until evenly blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
  • To make the topping, place the milk, margarine, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir to dissolve the brown sugar, and cook until the margarine melts. Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a baking sheet to prevent spillovers. Pour the topping over the cake.
  • Return the cake and baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool to room temperature before serving.

FLUFFY SWEDISH APPLE CAKE



Fluffy Swedish Apple Cake image

This is a favorite cake in Sweden. It's a simple, buttery cake filled with cinnamon-sugar apple slices. It reminds me of a pound cake, but with a yummy apple cinnamon topping. The presentation is made really pretty by arranging the apple slices. You can serve this as a coffee cake or as a dessert. You can re-heat slices in the microwave if you like it warmed.

SWEDISH APPLE CAKE - APPELKAKA



Swedish Apple Cake - Appelkaka image

Posted for ZWT6 Scandinavian Region - Sweden. Oh boy does this sound heavenly. I can't wait to try it out. If you do not have biscotti you can process into crumbs they state you can use almond rusk crumbs, zwieback crumbs, or fine dry bread crumbs (even though I don't think I'd like the idea of bread crumbs - just my opinion).
