Posted: 11/26/2005 8:18:30 PM | My Aunts recipe: Stuff Apples
Large MacIntosh-the biggest ones you can find. Some are HUGE! Anyways, Gut out the apple-try not to crack it. Afterwards, put in sugar water. Once done with all apples-let apples soak. Make your favorite meatloaf recipe.
Take the apples and sprinkle in some cinimon-then, stuff the apples with the meatloaf mixture, sprinkle top with cinimon.
bake at 350 for 40 minutes They are delicious!
Have a bowl of melted cheese handy for dipping the apple pieces.
She uses a big heated carved-out rock for the cheese. But, must people don't have those. | |

Posted: 11/16/2008 7:49:10 AM | I brought this thread up, because I have a great recipes for apple cake that can also be used as a warm pudding with hard sauce.
Applesauce Cake**
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon allspice
1 ½ cups canned applesauce
2 cups of diced apple
½ cup water
½ cup oil
2 eggs
1 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour 13 x 9 baking pan or bundt pan.
Measure all ingredients into large mixer bowl. Blend ½ minute on low speed, scraping bowl constantly. Beat 3 minutes on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
Bake 60 to 65 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Cool and frost.
**This is also excellent served warm with hard sauce and ice cream or whipped cream instead of icing.
Sauce
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups boiling water
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ cup butter
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 15 minutes until smooth, thickened and clear. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and butter. Serve warm over cake. | |

Posted: 11/16/2008 10:21:54 AM | Apple sauce - really easy to make and goes great with pork.
Take one large cooking apple. Peel and core it. Cut it up roughly. Put in small bowl. Add one table-spoon of water. Cover with cling film and cook in microwave (for 850W on High needs about 3 minutes).
Remove from micro-wave and remove cling film. Add 1-2 teaspoons of brown sugar, better to put too little in at first and adjust to taste . Use a fork to mash the apple making sure sugar well mixed - the sugar dissolves more easily when sauce is still hot.
Put aside to cool - if you are pushed for time to get it cooled transfer from the now hot bowl to a cool one.
Cheaper than buying a jar from the store, more environmentally aware and no added preservatives. | |

Posted: 11/16/2008 6:01:43 PM | i love fuji apples. after you have one, you'll never want any other type.
i make this apple cake, using a recipe from the sweet potato queens' big-ass cookbook and financial planner
1 1/3 cups canola oil
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
ok. get all this stuff into one bowl and beat the h*ll out of it. then, you sift:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder.
mix the dry stuff with the wet stuff, then add a tsp vanilla. now, mix in 3 cups peeled, chopped apples and a cup of chopped pecans. pour the whole thing into a greased 9X13. do it at 350 for an hour or so.
when i first made this, i thought it would need some sort of frosting or whipped cream. trust me ~ it doesn't. i also couldn't imagine liking something that has no butter. but this is one of the best cakes i've ever made.
afterthought: if you take this to a potluck, make sure that you get yourself a nice, big slab of it before everyone else discovers it. | |

Posted: 11/16/2008 8:44:05 PM | My favorite apple recipe... and it makes a great Christmas gift too, lol.
Apple Liqueur
1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 pounds fresh apples, stemmed and washed.
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cinnamon stick
2 cups 100-proof vodka
1 cup brandy
Make a simple syrup by bringing white sugar, brown sugar and water to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When clear, remove from the heat and let stand until just warm. Quarter and core apples. Slice into a clean half gallon glass container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour syrup over the apples and add lemon zest, cinnamon, vodka, and brandy. Cover and let stand in a cool, dark place for 1 month. Rack or filter into final container, like a wine bottle, fruit jar or decanter. | |

Posted: 11/16/2008 8:55:26 PM | Sweet potatoes and apples are always a great combination. Here's an old southern favorite.
Sweet Potato and Apple Casserole
4 medium sweet potatoes
2 large apples
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. lemon juice
3 tblsp. butter
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped nuts
Boil or microwave sweet potates until tender but firm and allow them to cool. Core and slice the apples, then sprinkle salt and lemon juice over them. Bring butter to a slow sizzle and toss apple slices around in the pan until slightly soft. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes. Place apples and potatoes in a shallow baking pan alternating or placing in whatever decorative pattern you like. Add honey to the remaining butter in the pan and bring to a boil. Pour over apples and sweet potatoes, coating well. Sprinkle with brown sugar and nuts on top. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 30 minutes or until brown and bubbly on top. | |

Posted: 11/17/2008 9:22:06 AM | Every single recipe in this thread sounds WONDERFUL!
I love apple pie, hands down. I like to make a sharp cheddar cheese flaky pastry crust and pile those apples in a 10" pie plate about 8" high, which gets me about a 4" deep pie when it is all done. I prefer tiny tapioca pearls to flour or cornstarch in the recipe and I use extra fresh grated nutmeg, or mace if I am out of nutmeg nuts. I also use fresh ginger in mine.
Another way I love apples is the same apple pie recipe, but apples cooked in a pan, then poured out onto a round puff pastry crust no more than an inch high, the edges of the crust folded over the top and a few leaf cut out of the puff pastry on top, baked until golden.
I also make a custard tart with apples or pears. I cut them into 4 slices while standing up (stem pointing up), then layer those slices over the custard and spice them however I want, then bake the tart.
My old fashioned, but always good way is to put them in a foil or wax paper lined dish, whole and cored (can also peel) and pour melted butter/light brown or white sugar/apple pie or pumpkin spice mix over the top and in the center of apples, then pour over a lot of red hots and bake. Sometimes I will add a lot of hot cinnamon oil to the butter/sugar/spice mix.
I love caramel apples with homemade caramel.
I also love to make candy apples in all colors and flavors of candy coating, particularly the colors that match the apple color.....yellow, red, green (light and dark), pink, orange red.
Apples in your tuna salad is really good too.
When my kids were little they LOVED having small apples cored, I would take a little extra out of the core and stuff them with a nut butter (peanut, raw cashew, raw almond, toasted pecan) that had tiny carrot pieces and red raisins mixed in it. | |

i stand by the fujis. so does donald. donald is a 36-year-old gelding who lost all his teeth. i used to make him a stew for which i'd boil down fujis with carrots in a peppermint tea. then i'd mash it all up with molasses and fenugreek. the old guy loved it! i made it with another type of apple once and he turned his old gray head and wouldn't eat a bite. | |

Posted: 11/17/2008 9:34:01 PM | I just had this discussion with my husband the other day.
When he grabbed a "bag o' apples" I had to explain that I was an apple snob. I will not suffer a Red Delicious, those horrible wretched mealy things. I grew up with Jonathans, they were sweet/tart and firm and were great all around for baking and eating.
I miss them desperately, I can't find Jonathans in NC , but I have found Pink Lady's to be a new favorite, usually if an apple is firm it will stand up well to cooking and baking.
I usually peel, half and core them put them in a medium hot pan with butter, brown sugar and a whiffle of cinnamon until everything is "happy" and put a scoop of good vanilla ice cream on a half. YUM! | |

Posted: 11/19/2008 12:02:20 PM | Johnathon is a good baker.
I love dried apple hand pies and they are a tradition in my family for the holidays.
we dry our apples on tin during the summer and store them in the freezer. To reconstitute them soak over night and then cook them down with sugar and water, season the way you want..kind of the same flavor you want in apple butter, but not as strong.
the dough is pie dough only a little more loose.
cook apples dry and put a spoonful in a pie round about 3- 4 inches in diameter fold over seal and bake.
wash with a sugar and water wash, serve cold....will keep for a few dyas at room temp but they never last that long.
