Welcome to the #SundaySupper Autumn Apple Event! For me, this is also the time of year where we eat apples because it’s Rosh Hashanah, so I was really excited to see an event where we could showcase our favorite apple recipe.
I love making “apple everything” in the fall. Apple cakes, apple pies, apple tarts, baked apples, apples with cheese, curry and apples, dipping apple in honey– you name it!
What I’m probably best known for is the Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting recipe that I received from a coworker of mine, Kristin. She made it for a baking competition at work, and after one taste, I ran to her and exclaimed that I needed (yes, NEEDED) the recipe! It was so moist and full of marvelous, chunky apple pieces that I knew it would be perfect for our Rosh Hashanah celebrations. The cream cheese portion of the recipe has also become the “gold standard” of cream cheese frosting recipes for me.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 cups of coarsely chopped, peeled apples (red delicious work best- 1 large apple = about 1 cup)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and chop the apples. Set aside. (do not worry if they turn slightly brown, however work quickly at this point) Beat eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla until well combined. Add in the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Fold in the apples. The batter will be extremely thick at this point! Spread the batter in a 9×13 inch pan. Bake 45-60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Depending on the moisture content of the apples, the cooking time may vary. I find that it usually takes closer to the 60 minutes for my cakes. Once the cake is fully cooled, spread on the cream cheese frosting.
Frosting Ingredients
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 3 Tbsp softened butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Frosting Directions
On medium speed, mix the softened cream cheese and butters until combined. Add the vanilla mix for another minute. Add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully combined.
