Apple Cake!

[chomiji]

We had some apples left over from the stock-up I did before Hurricane Sandy, so I made an apple cake (adapted from the 1975 Joy of Cooking - Apple Cake Cockaigne; mostly I made it a little leaner by using skim milk and the smaller amount of butter specified, and I added some oat to the batter for a little more fiber).

Looks delicious! I had a similar thought and for the same reason (tons of leftover apples). I just made a pie though.

I'm not very good at making pies. I'll likely have some slivers of pumpkin pie over Thanksgiving weekend (we have two dinners lined up ... possibly three, if my friend Kat has her usual turkey soup supper on the Friday). Pumpkin is my biggest pie weakness.

The Young Lady has (unfortunately from my point of view) learned to make an absolutely dynamite pie crust ... fortunately she's busy doing it at her school apartment and feeding it to her fellow Quidditch team members, who can no doubt burn it off in no time.

*drool* Apple is one of my favorite fall flavors. That looks so yummy!

It's a pretty easy recipe, as long as you don't mind peeling and cutting up apples!

Ooh, very nice. The kind I was served in Northwestern Germany would include a layer of custard between the cake and apples.

I think I've seen that sort of thing as well. I'm not sure how they do the custard in that case. This way keeps better at room temperature than one with custard would, I imagine. (The fridge was full by evening because I did the weekly grocery run.)
