FLOURLESS WALNUT CAKE WITH APPLES AND CINNAMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 355F and line a square baking pan (9 inches) with parchment paper. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a food processor grind finely two cups of walnuts and transfer them in a bowl. In the same foo processor grate the apples and set them aside.
• Crack the eggs and separate the egg whites and egg yolks in two different bowls.
• Add the sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks and beat them with a mixer until the sugar is dissolved.
• Then beat the egg whites (with clean and dry beaters) until you have stiff peaks.
• Add the ground walnuts to the egg yolk and sugar mixture and stir well.
• Over a strainer in a sink squeeze the grated apples to remove some of the water. Then add them to the egg yolk and walnut mixture and stir.
• Gradually add the egg whites and incorporate them in the mixture by carefully folding them in.
• Finally add the cinnamon and stir it in.
• Transfer the mixture in the baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until firm to the touch and golden brown.
• After baking remove the cake from the pan and cool it off on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing it.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

SWEDISH APPLE CAKE

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.
