MOM'S PRIZE WINNING RAW APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Make the topping by mixing together 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, chopped walnuts and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
• In large bowl, mix together 1 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Make a well in the center, and pour in the oil, eggs and sour milk. Beat until smooth, then fold in chopped apples.
• Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with topping mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

FRESH APPLE CAKE WITH EASY BROWN SUGAR CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl combine eggs and oil and whisk for 2 minutes, or until foamy and pale. Gradually add sugar, while whisking. Add flour, cinnamon, soda and salt (yes just throw it on top of the mixture of oil/egg/sugar. You probably think I should be telling you to 'sift ingredients', blah. Don't waste your time.) Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients only until combined. Don't overmix. Add chopped apples. Fold in gently. Pour batter into a greased 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Spread evenly. Bake for 50-55 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven. Remove from oven, let cool a bit. Serve warm with Brown Sugar Caramel Sauce. (recipe below.)
• *I like larger pieces of apples in my cake and sometimes make 3/4" pieces. Try 1/2" pieces if you are unsure.
• *Try to use a flavorful baking apple, tart in flavor works well. About the only apple that won't work is "Red Delicious" and any apple that is mushy.)
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch until well blended. (This will prevent the cornstarch from clumping.) Add water and whisk well. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Boil for 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and butter. Mix well until combined. Set aside to cool to warm. (The sauce will thicken as it stands. When it is hot, it will look thinner than it will turn out. Don't worry!) You can pour this on the cake, or serve it on the side.
• *If you make the cake with Honeycrisp apples, you could add 1 TBSP of honey to this sauce to play off of the honey flavored apples in the cake.

MY MOM'S APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Well grease a baking pan. I double this recipe and use a bundt pan and grease it with shortening since it has a higher melting point. Then flour the pan.
• Get your buttermilk caramel sauce ingredients ready so the caramel is ready to be poured over the cake after you let it cool for 15 min after baking. If you're doubling the cake recipe to use a larger pan, be sure to double the buttermilk caramel sauce recipe.
• Into a very large saucepan with high sides add your buttermilk sauce ingredients. The mixture will foam a lot before it becomes caramel and cleaning this off your stove is a pain in the foot! Trust me, I'm speaking from experience. It's easier to clean a gigantic pot than the stove top.
• Sift together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Combine sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and OJ in a large bowl. Beat until well blended.
• Stir in flour mixture into the wet mixture and mix well.
• Fold in walnuts and apples.
• Spoon into prepared pan.
• Bake on 325° for 90 min or until the top springs back when pressed. If using more than 2 cups of apples bake longer. Right before you're ready to take the cake out of the oven, put your caramel sauce on to cook on medium-low on the stove.
• Remove cake and cool in pan for 15 minute.
• While cake is cooling for the 15 min, turn on your burner under the pot where you already prepared your buttermilk caramel sauce ingredients. Turn the burner on medium low. You're about to be in for a work-out.
• Continuously stir the ingredients as they melt and foam and come together into a really loose sauce. You don't want this to thicken a great deal. It should NOT resemble caramel like you put on ice cream. It should be more of the consistency of pancake batter. It will take approximately 15 minute See what we did there? The cake cools for 15 min while the caramel cooks!
• Poor your buttermilk caramel sauce over the cake. Poke some holes in the cake with a meat fork to help the caramel sauce get down into the cake. If you cooked the caramel too long it won't go down into the cake. It will just sit on top of the cake. Then you have to start over! But you can still eat the ruined cake over the sink. The calories don't count that way. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone.
