Mrs Evans Apple Cake Recipes

KARDEA'S CARAMEL APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease and flour a 9- or 10-inch Bundt pan.
• Mix together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Peel, core and dice 3 cups apples. Set aside.
• Blend the oil, sugars and vanilla in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in a stand mixer until well mixed. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. The batter will be very thick. Fold in the apple pieces. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan to a cooling rack.
• For the caramel sauce: Meanwhile, heat the caramels and milk in a saucepan on medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the caramels are completely melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then drizzle over the cake just before serving.

FRESH APPLE CAKE WITH HOMEMADE CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; add to the butter mixture, and mix just until blended. Stir in the walnuts, if desired.
• Pour into a lightly greased 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or just until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Serve with Homemade Caramel Sauce and, if desired, whipped cream or ice cream.
• Cook the sugar, half-and-half, butter, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low for 5 to 7 minutes, whisking slowly, until thickened. Remove from the heat, and let cool slightly before serving.

MRS. VOLLMER'S GERMAN APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• For the crust:.
• Blend the softened butter with the sugar thoroughly.
• When creamy, add egg yolks vanilla and salt.
• Mix well.
• Blend in flour gradually, mixing lightly by hand until a homogenous mass.
• Pat dough into a 12" rectangular pyrex baking dish until it is evenly distributed over the bottom and part way up the sides.
• For the filling:.
• Peel and core apples and slice them into fairly thin slices.
• Sprinkle the slices with lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar as you go, placing them into a bowl, until all the apples are sliced.
• Warm the jam.
• If it is in a glass jar, loosen the lid and place the jar in a small pot of water, with the water coming half way up the side of jar.
• Simmer over low heat until jam is soft.
• Spread half the jam on the surface of the crust, and then place the apples, slightly overlapping, in as many rows as the bottom will take.
• If you are using Mackintosh apples, they will shrink more and tend to break.
• Keep your prettiest slices for the top, and arrange them attractively.
• Using a pastry brush, spread the rest of the jam across the the top of the cake.
• Sprinkle the top with almonds (I always leave this out unless I'm making it for a certain person).
• Bake in a 350° oven for about an hour, until crust and apples are golden.
