This is a recipe that is in the BC Thanksgiving 2008 magazine.  I am thinking about making it for our holiday dinner and I was wondering if anyone else has made it and what they thought of it.  I tried to find the recipe via search here, but it is not listed?!?  I mean, you would think that as it was in the BC magazine, the recipe would be listed on their website???  It really helps when their are reviews to read.  Any help is appreciated!!!

Hi SeaWitch,

I found this recipe in my taste of home cook book and it's delicious.

I has to be mixed by hand.  Don't use a mixer.

CARMEL APPLE CAKE

• 1-1/2 cups sugar


•    1/2 cup  Packed brown sugar


• 1      eggs

• 2  tsp. cinnamon


• 1/2 tsp nutmeg


• 1   tsp soda


• 1/2 tsp salt


• 3-1/2 cup diced peeled apples


• 1  cup chopped walnuts


• 2 tsp  vanilla

Combine oil and sugars.  Add eggs 1 at a time.  Combine dry ingredients.  Add to batter.  Stir well.  Fold in apples, walnuts and vanilla.  Pour into well greased and floured 10" bundt  or tube pan.  Bake at 325* 90 min. or until done.  Cool about 5 min remove and cool completely.

CARMEL ICING:

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar


• 1/3 cup light cream


• 1/4 cup butter or marg.

• 1 cup powdered sugar


• chopped walnuts

In microwave or double boiler, heat brown sugar, cream, butter and salt until sugar dissolved.  Cool to room temperature.  Beat in powdered sugar until smooth.  Drizzle over cake.  Sprinkle with chopped nuts.  (I usually make double recipe as husband like's extra frosting)

This makes a very moist cake and also have made it in 9x13 pan

Enjoy

SeaWitch,

Chunky Apple Cake with Browned Butter Frosting sounds interesting.  Would you mind posting the recipes?  Since I've got apples on hand, I'm willing to try it sometime over the next few days and let you know what I think of it.

Leila,

Thanks so much for posting your Caramel Apple Cake and Caramel Frosting recipes.  If SeaWitch doesn't post the Chunky Apple Cake and Browned Butter Frosting recipes, I think I'll make your cake.  I have apples that need to be used before we leave for Thanksgiving.

DeeMarie

This sound really good.  I love to eat cake but who needs the calories??  But on the other hand, I made this so delicious apple pear crisp a la the Barefoot Contessa.. go to www.foodnetwork.com and type in apple pear crisp.  its really yummy but eat it about 2 hours cooled cuz its less sweet and perfect then. I used braeburn apples...cuz who can find macoun?  or whatever she said to use.  happy thanksgiving!

Goodmorning DeeMarie

I'd like to have SeaWitch's recipe to.  It sounds  really good to me. This is what I like about all these site's.  There is so much information and great recipe's to try.

Wishing all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Leila

Hi, Leila!

Hopefully SeaWitch will post the recipe before Christmas.  It really does sound wonderful!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family, and all our friends.

Leila,

I just found a recipe for Browned Butter Frosting; now if I could only find one for Chunky Apple Cake.  Then we would both be set!

Here's the recipe.

DeeMarie

BROWNED BUTTER FROSTING

1/3 cup butter
3 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons milk

Heat butter in saucepan over medium heat until delicate brown; remove from heat. Stir in confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and milk.  Beat until frosting is smooth and spreadable.

Note:   This is excellent on spice cake.

Hi DeeMarie,

I haven't been able to log in since Friday.  Any way I went into the  BC 2008 and 2007 cookbooks  for baking, and the only one I found with apples, was an Applesauce Cake, which took 1 cup chunky applesauce.  It had a lot of spices, and I may make it and put  on your frosting, which I copied down, as sure sounds good.  I have a favorite  spice applesauce cake that it would taste delicious on to.

Maybe we'll find that chunky apple cake yet.

Leila

Hello sooboo123,

Your pear crisp sounds like it would be great and I go into foodnetwork a lot so will look up the recipe.  Thank's for letting us know.

Have a great Thanksgiving.
