APPLE CAKE, KING ARTHUR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Butter a 9 ½" to 10" (2" deep) cast-iron skillet; or a 9" square cake pan.
• Combine the apples with the brown sugar, apple juice concentrate (do not dilute), spices, and salt. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Mix the warm milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture, stirring to combine. Pour into the prepared skillet.
• Spoon the apple mixture onto the batter. For the best appearance, make sure the apples are distributed a little more heavily towards the edges of the pan.
• Sprinkle with coarse sparkling sugar, if desired.
• Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, till it's light brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven, and cool for about 5 minutes.
• Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan, and cool for another 20 minutes or so.

APPLE CRUMBLE, KING ARTHUR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.
• Place them in a bowl with the remainder of the filling ingredients and stir vigorously to combine. In the process, the apple pieces will break into smaller bits; this is fine.
• Spoon the apple mixture into a lightly greased 9x9 cake pan, or a ceramic pan of similar capacity and surface area.
• TOPPING:.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, oats, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking powder. Add the butter, cutting it in as you would when making piecrust.
• Mix until crumbly; if you work it too much the mixture will clump together, so use a light touch but be thorough.
• Sprinkle topping over the filling.
• Bake the crumble for 1-1/2 hours or until it's hot and bubbly and a deep, golden brown. Remove it from the oven and let it cool to lukewarm before serving.
