I must say, this recipe is absolutely fabulous! I'm always perusing Pinterest (wickedly addictive site!) finding new recipes, crafts, and whatnot to try.
First things first, I did make this recipe exactly as stated the first time I made it. My family and friends LOVED it! But I had a few ideas, so the next time I made it (maybe a week later?) I added a few things here and there and subbed some stuff.
The following is MY version of this recipe, but because I found it through another source, I feel it is only right for me to give them credit for leading me in the direction of an absolutely wonderful dessert!
Apple Fritter Cake~~>>Amber's Way
Ingredients:
Filling:
- 2 Braeburn Apples (peeled and diced)
- 2/3C Granulated Sugar
- 1/2t cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 4T cornstarch
- 4t Water
Crumb Mixture:
- 1/3C Brown Sugar
- 1/2t Cinnamon
Cake:
- 1/3C Butter
- 3/4C Granulated Sugar
- 1/2C All Natural Applesauce
- 1t Vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2-1/4C AP Flour
- 1t baking powder
- 1t baking soda
- 1t salt (omit if using butter with salt)
- 1t Cinnamon
- 1C Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt
Glaze:
- 2C Powdered Sugar
- 1t Clear Vanilla extract
- 6T milk
Directions:
Combine ingredients for filling in medium saucepan. Cook on low, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until apples soften and sauce is thick.
Mix crumb mixture in small bowl and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350. Grease 13x9 baking dish (glass works best!). Cream butter and sugar until fluffy (this step can take awhile, so toss it in the mixer, turn it on and walk away to prep the rest of your ingredients, you want this to be super fluffy and light!). Add applesauce and vanilla, mixing well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Sift dry ingredients together. Add to mixer in three batches, alternating with yogurt making sure to end with adding dry ingredients.
Pour half the batter in your baking dish. Sprinkle 2/3 of your crumb mixture on cake batter. Top with apple mixture (trying to spread it out as evenly as possible). Add the remaining cake batter (this part is tricky as the batter is NOT easy to spread, just do the best you can, it will still look and taste delicious! Trust me!). Top with remaining crumb mixture.
Bake 40-45 minutes.
During last 5 minutes of baking whip up the glaze. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven pour the glaze over top and let cool.
~~~This is awesome right out of the oven (well... not RIGHT out of the oven. I don't think anyone could judge how well something tastes when their tastebuds get burned off). It is also terrific completely cooled!~~~
We have covered this dish and left it on the counter and ate it a day or two later (until it was gone, if you have a bunch of people over it won't last a day!). You can also put it in the fridge, I recommend placing it in the microwave for about 20 seconds to take the chill off though.
This recipe is a bit involved and seems time consuming. It is totally worth it though!
If you come up with any other alterations to any of the recipes I post please comment with them! I love trying out new things! :-)
