Your best apple recipes - looking for something different
Comments (26)Hi all! I'm reporting back having tried Linda's recipe for Apple cake but I wound up using the 1/2 cup raisins plus 1/2 Cup Craisins and about 1/4 cup dried Apricots (chopped up) and the pecans and a handful of shredded coconut, at the last minute. It was awesome! It came out more like a fruit cake, but the best part of the traditional, not so compacted and packed with so many different intense flavors. I highly recommend doing this, if you want a very Holiday-type cake but don't want to use the traditional fruit cake recipes! I think it would also make a very nice Apple-Fruit *Bread*, baked in a loaf pan or two! I loved the 'gravy' (tasted like 'Eagle Brand' condensed milk) but the next day, found I still enjoyed the cake even without the gravy and it did remind me more of a 'bread' than cake, that way! :o) Thank you, Linda, for a good recipe! I promise to try it as it was presented, after the holidays! Right now, I'm enjoying it 'tweaked'--way too much, I'm afraid!! Oh, and I used 'Gala' Apples which turned out fabulous in this recipe! I had read somewhere on the internet that they tested out as one of the better cooking apples--in the top three, in fact, and I couldn't agree more based on how this 'Apple (fruit) cake' turned out!...See MoreYour best Runza recipe, please?
Comments (12)Just found this thread. Runza was a pretty traditional food at my grandparents that were German Russian from the Volga area and my mother made it a lot for my grandfather. However, they never made it with hamburger. To my understanding beef was much more scarce and the Runza were made with leftover roast beef. They put the leftover beef through a hand grinder and used that in the Runza. As beef became more plentiful, my mom would braise a pot roast, separate the large pieces of fat and then grind the beef for the Runza. Hamburger seems to be the way Runza was made in the US. Online searches for recipes seems to only yield hamburger recipes. If you are a homemade Runza fan, I would encourage you to try it with Roast Beef instead of hamburger. The note on the sugar in the dough was consistent with the way my mom makes it as it was always a slightly sweet dough....See MoreMay I pretty please have the Lemon Brownie recipe?
Comments (7)Bobby, use either kind of butter you have. If you have salted, use it and leave the salt out. I made a few changes to Marilyn's recipe to suit my tastes. I added a teaspoonful of baking powder, I wanted it more "cake like" and less dense. I also doubled the lemon juice, because I love lemon. And I pour the glaze over the bars while they are still warm, it kind of sinks in and when it cools it is a little "crackly". I like that texture. All in all, it's a great recipe and very adaptable. Leave the baking powder out or put it in. Double the lemon juice or not. Glaze while hot if you're in a hurry, wait until they cool if you aren't. I've never had a batch fail, no matter the changes, so I don't think salted/unsalted butter is going to make a lick of difference.

Comments (5)Here's a variation of the Texas & Chocolate sheet cakes: the cinnamon makes it "Mexican". I found this in the Houston Chronicle in the early '80s & have made it since, & always get raves for it (though some people think it is brownies because it's so thin.) Great for a crowd potluck. This recipe is so easy - I can make & frost it in 50 minutes. I don't even clean the saucepan from the cake melting - just leave it for the frosting. I have always used the unsweetened chocolate -haven't tried the cocoa. Notice that the cake ingredients don't need to be sifted. It's even better the second day - the flavors have time to mellow. MEXICAN CHOCOLATE CAKE 1 stick (1/2 c.) butter 1/2 c. vegetable oil 2 squares unsweetened chocolate OR 4 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa 1 c. water 2 c. unsifted all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1 3/4 c. sugar 1/2 c. sour milk (place 1/2 tsp. vinegar in 1/2 c. milk) 2 eggs, beaten 3/4 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine butter, oil, chocolate and water in a saucepan and heat until chocolate is melted. Combine flour, baking soda, sugar, milk, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla in large bowl; then combine with first mixture. Pour into a greased 12x18-inch cake pan (I use a 12x15-inch cushionaire-type jelly roll pan). Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until cake tests done. Bake on middle rack. Five minutes before cake is done, prepare: MEXICAN CHOCOLATE ICING: 1 stick butter 2 squares unsweetened chocolate 6 Tbsp. milk 1 (1 lb.) pkg. confectioners' sugar, sifted 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 c. chopped pecans Combine butter, chocolate and milk in a saucepan and heat until bubbles form around the edge. Remove from heat, add confectioners' sugar, vanilla and pecans; beat. Ice cake while still warm. Frosting is not stiff....See Moreeld6161
