This apple cake is made with chopped fresh apples, butter, cinnamon, and sour cream.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 cups finely chopped & peeled apples

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large mixing bowl combine first flour, butter, and brown sugar. Blend together until crumbly, using a mixer on low speed. Stir in chopped pecans. Press 2 3/4 cups of the crumb mixture into an ungreased 13X9-inch pan. To remaining mixture add cinnamon, soda, salt, sour cream, vanilla and egg. Blend well with mixer. Stir in the chopped apples. Spoon evenly over the crumb layer. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Too sweet!, Member rachelsyracuse

Intriguing recipe - more like a bar than a cake, and it works well to make it firm on the bottom and keep it from sticking to the pan. But there's WAY too much brown sugar. If I make it again, I'll go down to 1 1/2 cups or less and add some lemon juice or cider vinegar to give it a little more bite.
