You've heard of apple fritters but, have
you ever heard of an apple fritter cake?!
That's what I'm making today. I'm Tess
and welcome to my kitchen.
It's apple season here in Pennsylvania and this apple fritter cake sounds yummy on this
chilly day. So, let's get started! I have
two Granny Smith apples. You can use
any apple that you like. Dicing into
bite-size pieces and adding to my pan.
This is going to be the apple filling
layer of the cake. Adding some water,
sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. I have my heat on low and going to stir and cook
the apples for about five minutes or
until they start to soften and the sauce thickens.
Then I'm going to remove from
the heat and let it cool until I get my
other ingredients ready.
Now on making the sprinkle topping. I
have a half a cup of brown sugar and I'm
adding a half a teaspoon of cinnamon and a couple grates of  nutmeg. Be careful,  fresh
nutmeg has a powerful, pungent flavor
and a little goes a long way but, it does
give another dimension to the flavor!
Giving that a good mix around and setting to the side.
 
Next is the cake batter. I have some
softened butter and adding some sugar.
Giving that a whisk with my hand mixer
until incorporated and then I'm adding
applesauce and vanilla. Another mix and
then adding two eggs adding one at a
time and mix in well.

Now I'm going to mix the dry ingredients.
I have two and a quarter cups of
all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking
soda, and cinnamon. Giving that a whisk to
make sure everything is well combined.
Now I'm mixing about a third of the dry
ingredients into the wet and stirring well.
I'm adding a cup of Greek yogurt to
this recipe but adding a half a cup for now.
You can use our cream. Next is
more of the dry ingredients.
The other half a cup of yogurt and
finishing with the rest of the dry.
Just mixing until combined.
I have my oven preheating to 350 degrees.
I have a well buttered and floured...
9 by 13 baking dish. You can use a smaller pan if you want. For a  thicker cake just keep
an eye on it and adjust your baking time.
First, I am layering out half of my cake
batter. Just smooooothing out to make an even layer.
And now I'm adding my spiced apples. Just add by spoonfuls and spread evenly,
trying not to disturb the cake batter
below. Just take your time there's no rush.
 
Now I'm sprinkling about two-thirds of
my brown sugar cinnamon and nutmeg
mixture over the apples. This cake is
smelling good already! The rest of
the cake batter goes on top! Just
scooping out in piles and spreading out with my spatula.
This is easier with a smaller
pan. Just take your time. It spreads out nicely.
No right or wrong here.
And now goes on the rest of the brown
sugar sprinkle. Baking at 350 degrees for
45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted into the center of the cake
comes out clean.
And we're not done yet! In the meantime,
I'm going to make a yummy glaze that
goes on top. I have two cups of powdered
sugar and I'm adding one teaspoons of pure
vanilla extract and some milk. The recipe
calls for 6 to 7 tablespoons of milk  and I'm
adding the milk slowly to get the
consistency that I want making sure that
I stir well in between the milk
additions.  And this is what i'm looking for!
A flowing ribbon consistency. I'm
just setting that to the side until the
cake is done baking.
And the kitchen smells wonderful! This is
the cake right out of the oven.
The toothpick came out clean and now is the time to add the apple fritter cake glaze.
Just pour the glaze right over
the top and spread out evenly with a
spoon or knife. It's important that you do
this when the cake comes right out of
the oven so the glaze can soak into the
cake while it cools and makes a nice hard
and flaky delicious sugary crust on top.
Letting the cake cool and I'm ready for
a slice! And this is what I've been
waiting for.... a yummy piece of cake with
lots of apples, flavored with cinnamon
and nutmeg, with the delicious sugary
glaze... just like an apple fritter!
I hope you get this delicious apple fritter
cake recipe a try. I know you're gonna
like it. And until next time, enjoy.
