I just made this cake last night (haven't tasted it yet). I followed the directions on the frosting recipe to boil the three ingredients for 2 1/2 minutes and cool. It was still runny and the only way I could get the frosting to look like the above picture was to add 2 cups of confectioners sugar and beat it in. Then it worked. I'm taking this cake to a friends tonight and I sure hope it tastes as good as it looks. I've been so tempted to cut a piece out of it, but it wouldn't look so good to take a cake that's been cut into. I also added 2 t. cinnamon to the apples before I turned them into the cake, and also added walnuts instead of pecans.

I have several friends in the Chicago area. Did you get any of the bad weather from Ike a couple of days ago? I hope not.

I love Granny Smith apples for baking. Well, for eating too. I tried the ones that were all the rage last year, the Honey Crisp, and while they were good, I prefer a tarter apple, so I went back to the Grannies.

I cannot wait for baking weather!

No, Star, I'm in Illinois - just outside Chicago. Sadly, I have to drive pretty far to find a good old fashioned apple orchard. Thankfully there are plenty of Farmers Markets so I can still get good quality apples for baking :)

Thanks for all the comments! I thought the picture looked great too!

Lori, you'll have mail coming sometime the end of the week. I have been so busy working 60 hour weeks that I just haven't had time to get anything caught up, but be watching for it, ok? I'm glad to see you!

Linda, I have been thinking about you too and hope that things are better than the last time we talked. :)

You're welcome, Miss Nancy and Sweet Shirley. Let me know how you like it if you try it.

Connie, I agree. Coconut is one of those things that people feel passionately about...I am passionate for it, but I know many people cannot stand it, so it's better to be safe than sorry if you don't know. But I LOVE the idea of a version with coconut in it and am definitely saving it. Thank you so much!

Linda, (Elijay) thank you so much for the review of the other cake. I also am crazy about those cinnamon chips and have many recipes using them. Are you from Ga by any chance? We have a town that is famous for it's apples in the mountains by a similiar name.

Wow! This looks really good! I can't wait to try it. I made the Cinnamon Chip Applesauce Cake that Star posted a while back. Really good. I'll try to post a R&R in a bit.

Found it Star! This is the one I made, minus the coconut, Connie

Apple Dapple Cake

From Taste of the South

( I was lazy and threw it all into one bowl and it came out great, no flouring the apples and nuts, boom, it went into one bowl. Apples were throughout the cake) This is a real keeper and I am going to make this cake again and again and this fall it is getting made, without the topping, and I am going to freeze and vac pack and ship to Iraq, I think it will do great, but will make those in loaves. Connie

3 large eggs

1+1/4 cups vegetable oil

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups sugar

3 cups all purpose flour, divided

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

3 cups chopped apples (I used Gala apples)

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

1 cup sweetened flaked coconut ( I left out because some of the guests, was not sure if they liked coconut)

Topping:

1/3 cup butter

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

¼ cup milk

1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 inch tube pan or a Bundt pan, set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer, mixing well. Add vanilla and sugar, beating well. In another bowl sift together 2+3/4 cups flour, baking soda, salt cinnamon and nutmeg. Add to egg mixture. Combine remaining ¼ cup flour with apples, nuts and coconut. Fold fruit mixture into bake batter, pour into prepared pan. Bake for approximately 1 hour and 10 mins. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 mins. Remove cake from pan. Meanwhile, combine topping ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 2-3 mins. Pour hot topping over warm cake.

Star I just have to add my two cents here. I posted a recipe for a Apple Dapple cake, it was from the South magazine, and it had coconut in it which I left out because of not knowing if my company cared for it or not, so left that out. But I have raved and raved about that darned cake, and Kerry was here to enjoy it before he deployed and he took leftovers to work, still raving about it. That cake is such a keeper, I am going to check your Momma's favorite out here as well, but I saw the name and thought I would share on the South recipe that I posted too. Tried to get to the search but having problems apparently they said. Yep, this cake just reminds me so much of Fall days with the smell in the kitchen. Hope you and Sydney are doing well. Hugs, Connie Hi Shirley!

Apple Dapple Cake-Pic

From the poster at Recipezaar:

This was my mother's favorite cake to bake particularly in the fall to carry to church dinners.

Apple Dapple Cake

An apple lover's cake for sure!! Very moist with a carmel-like frosting. Great for serving guests and for family celebrations. This recipe has been used frequently by my relatives.

SERVES 14

3 eggs
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
3 cups tart apples, chopped
3 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
Frosting
1 cup brown sugar
4 tab lespoons butter
1/4 cup milk

Beat eggs and mix with sugar, oil and vanilla.

Combine flour, salt and baking soda and add to egg mixture.

Fold in apples and pecans. Pour into greased and floured tube cake pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

For Frosting:

Bring brown sugar, butter and milk to a boil. Boil only 2 1/2 minutes. Cool and spread on cake.

I added finely chopped nuts to the frosting for added delight!

Review from Recipezaar:

Everyone loved this cake and my DD requested that I make it for her birthday coming up in October. We can't wait to have it again! Thank you for sharing!
