No Peel Apple Cake Food

APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until well blended. Add the eggs and mix well.
• Stir in the freshly grated apple. It may seems like the grated apple is completely taking over the dish - this is a good thing :).
• In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add to the wet ingredients and mix, just until incorporated.
• Bake in a greased 9x13 inch pan for 40-50 min, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. (Depending on how large your apples were, you may need to cook it a little longer than 50 minutes).
• Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm with caramel sauce and whipped cream or ice cream.

THE NO-PEEL APPLE CAKE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Prepare Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat first 2 ingredients at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition; stir in vanilla. Whisk together flour and next 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat just until blended after each addition. Spread batter in a greased (with shortening) and floured 9- x 2-inch round cake pan. Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, shielding with aluminum foil after 35 to 40 minutes to prevent excessive browning, if necessary. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely (about 1 hour). Meanwhile, prepare Apples. Cut apples into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Toss together apples, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and next 3 ingredients. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add apple mixture, and sauté 5 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender and golden. Cool completely (about 30 minutes). Arrange sautéed apples over cooled cake, and drizzle with desired amount of warm Apple Brandy-Caramel Sauce; serve with remaining sauce. Apple Brandy Sauce: Bring brown sugar, butter, cream, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir apple brandy. Whisk in powdered sugar; cool 15 minutes before serving.

NO PIE APPLE PIE

Steps:

• For the apple pie spice: Mix together the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom if using in a small bowl.
• For the apples: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the apple halves core-side down on a flat surface. Before slicing, place chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of them to make sure you don't cut all the way through. Slice almost all the way to the bottom of each apple half at 1/4-inch intervals, then place them on a sheet pan.
• Mix 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of the apple pie spice and the orange juice in a pitcher. Drizzle over the apples, making sure they are well coated and the drizzle goes into the slits. Bake until they are just starting to get tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the oats, almonds, salt, remaining melted butter, remaining brown sugar, orange zest and remaining apple pie spice. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the apples, making sure to get some between the slices without breaking the apples. Bake until the topping is slightly crisp and golden, another 10 minutes. Drizzle with honey and serve with ice cream.
