Here is a delicious apple cake that people love.

Fresh Apple Cake (from a Y-Teens cookbook)

4 C. apples (Chop coarse, leave some pieces the size of a teaspoon.)

2 C. sugar

2 tsp baking soda

2 eggs

1 C. cooking oil

1 tsp salt

2.5 cups flour

2 tsp cinnamon

Chop apples and mix with sugar. Let Stand. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add yolks and beat. Add oil and mix well. Add apples and sugar. Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon, and add to mixture. Pour into a well greased and floured bundt pan or spring form pan ( I always use bundt). Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. If desired make a glaze of 1 C confectioners' sugar dissolved with juice of 1 lemon.

Jewel, that sounds very good. Here is a link to a recipe I like to make:
NPR Apple Lady's Apple Cake recipe

If you don't have a springform pan, use a regular baking dish. I especially like the sweet, crispy topping with the dense apple slices.

I'd like a recipe for apple brownies, or apple blondies, if anyone has one :-).

APPLE BETTY

4 cups sliced, pared tart apples
1 cup sugar (white and/or brown)

Mound apples in buttered 9-inch pie plate. Combine sugar, flour, spices and salt; cut in butter till mixture is crumbly; sprinkle over apples. (You can melt butter to make it easier to mix.)

Bake at 375̊ for 45 minutes or till apples are tender and topping is crisp. Serve with warm cream or ice cream.

Here is one I plan to make.

Wanda, I love love love Apple Betty, or as I call it, Apple Crisp. I often bake it in individual servings just enough for DH and me, and I really enjoy eating it hot with ice cream.

I just put one of your recipes in the oven and I made it just like you have it written. I only softened the butter, not melted. Since I did not want a large amount of dessert for today, I chose to make Wanda's recipe. I am baking it in my counter top oven and I put it in an 8 x 8 inch pan. I am going to copy all of the recipes you good folks post on here and I plan to try them all. Keep the recipes coming. I forgot to add I used 3 different kinds of apples, Golden Delicious, Empire and McIntosh.

I will have to look up my aunt's wonderful apple crisp, but here is another favorite.

APPLE OR
PEACH COBBLER
Mix:
5 cups peeled, tart apples or ripe peaches (about 6 fruits or 1 1/2 pounds)
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c water for apples only. Peaches are juicy enough
2 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp almond extract for peaches as well as the vanilla
Turn into an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking dish. Dot with 2 Tbsp butter.

Make
batter:
Combine and beat with wooden spoon till smooth--
1/2 c flour
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp softened butter
1 egg, slightly beaten

Spoon thin dabs of batter evenly over the top of the
apples or peaches. There will be gaps and it won’t look perfect. Bake in a
preheated 375 oven for 40 minutes or until the top is nicely browned all over.
(The peaches took much longer to brown. I bet because they are so juicy.) Serve
warm or room temperature either plain or with whipped cream or ice cream .
Serves 6-8.

We also love apples, potatoes and pork chops. Slice 2 or 3 peeled and cored apples. In a frying pan, melt 1 Tbsp each butter and oil and place thinly sliced peeled potatoes to fry and season with salt and pepper. Cover and turn infrequently. In another frying pan, place pork chops of the thickness you like and fry them in a little oil. When you turn them, cover the pork chops with the sliced apples and add a few pats of butter to the pan. Season the apples with cinnamon. Cover and cook, turning the apples every now and then. If the chops are done before the apples, just put them on top of the apples or potatoes to keep them warm while the apples and potatoes finish cooking. Serve each plate with apples, potatoes and pork chops.

Wanda's recipe for her Apple Betty turned out great. My husband was able to eat a big bowl of it. Trying to put a lot of weight on him. I will be making it again and also trying all of your other recipes. Thank you so much, keep them coming!

Here is my recipe for my Apple Betty that I make.

Sue's Apple Betty

3 or 4 peeled, cored and thinly sliced apples

7 slices of bread, finely diced

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

3/4 c.up butter

4 tablespoons of water

Raisins, cinnamon and or nuts may be added

Layer in greased baking dish. I use a casserole bowl. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, covered with foil then uncover for a short time and let brown.

Layer in the greased baking dish in this order

Bread

Apples

Sugar

Repeat the layers ending with the bread crumbs and butter last. Then add the 4 T. of water.

Cover and Bake

Sue

This is an old recipe, reportedly from Bess Truman

Ozark Pudding

1 egg

3/4 cup sugar

2 T flour

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts

1/2 cup chopped apples

1 tsp vanilla

Combine egg and sugar and beat together until very smooth. Mix flour, baking powder and salt together and add to egg/sugar mixture. Add nuts, apples and vanilla

Bake in a DEEP greased pie tin in a 350 degree oven until top is crusty. ( there was no time given in this old recipe) Serve with ice cream or whipped cream

Be sure to use a deep enough pan

I usually doubled the recipe and baked in a 9 inch square pan. It has a tendency to rise and run over if pan is not deep enough

Here is a really simple apple strudel recipe. I have made it twice and am planning to make 2 more today because the puff pastry comes in 2 sheets.

Combine 2 cups apples with some cinnamon, 2 T brown sugar, 1 T flour and one quarter cup chopped walnuts. Roll out the puff pastry a bit, put the apple mixture in the middle and cut the puff pastry sides that are left over and braid over the top. I used a scissors. Kind of crimp the end, wash with egg/water mixture and sprinkle with dusting sugar. Bake on parchment paper 350 degrees for 35 mins and turn about halfway through. Freezes really well.
