Apple Or Peach Streusel Cookie Sheet Cake Food

APPLE STREUSEL SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and preheat your oven to 350F (180C).
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) butter, 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla extract, 2 cups all-purpose flour and egg. Beat until everything is incorporated. Spread the dough onto the baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the fridge while you make the apple and crumble layer.
• Leave the remaining 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) butter on the kitchen counter to get to room temperature.
• Peel and core the apples and chop them into small chunks. Mix the apple chunks with the lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon and apple sauce. Set aside.
• For the crumb topping: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the remaining soft 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) butter with 2 cups of flour and 1/2 cup sugar (see Note 4). The mixture will be crumbly.
• To assemble the cake, spread the apple mixture onto the dough layer. Then use your fingers to crumble the crumbs on top. Press some crumbs together to form bigger crumbs, you don't want the crumbs to be too fine.
• Bake for 45 minutes until the crumbs are lightly golden.
• Let the cake cool off completely. It will be a little bit soft while hot.
• Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!

• Combine streusel ingredients until crumbly and place on top of fresh fruit.
• Bake 30 to 40 minutes until streusel is lighty brown and the cake is well cooked in the center.

CARAMELISED APPLE CAKE WITH STREUSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp sugar in a large frying pan over medium heat until the sugar starts to melt. Add apples, then cook for about 5 mins, until nicely browned and the sauce is a rich caramel. Leave to cool.
• While the apples cool, make the topping. In a food processor or using the tips of your fingers, rub together flour, 85g sugar, cinnamon and cold butter until the mixture is crumbly and only pea-size pieces of butter remain. Stir in 2 tbsp of hazelnuts. Set aside in a cool place.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. To make the cake, place the remaining butter and sugar in a bowl or food mixer and beat until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and milk in two goes, alternating between dry and wet ingredients. When the mixture is well combined, stir through the apples.
• Grease a 20cm cake tin with removable base and line the base with a circle of baking paper. Spoon in the cake mixture, smooth over the top with a spoon, then sprinkle over the streusel topping. Scatter with the remaining 1 tbsp demerara sugar and hazelnuts. Cook in the oven for 50 mins-1 hr or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then turn out onto a baking rack, remove paper and cool.

APPLE STREUSEL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F; Grease a 9" x 13" pan.
• Slice the apples and set aside.
• To make the streusel topping, combine 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and chopped walnuts.
• Cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add the milk, vanilla extract and egg, mixing until just combined.
• Stir in half the apple slices by hand, and spread batter into prepared pan.
• Top with remaining apple slices, then sprinkle the streusel topping over the apples.
• Bake at 350F for 30 minutes, or until done.
• Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

NUTTY APPLE STREUSEL CAKE

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.
