Depression Apple Spice Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease bottom and sides of a 9 X 13 inch cake pan.
• Dump spice cake mix into a large mixing bowl. Using a fork, work out any large lumps of mix.
• Add eggs, pie filling, and vanilla extract. Stir together well.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 32-36 minutes until cake top springs back when pressed down lightly.
• Cool and top with your favorite topping if desired (I like to sprinkle it with a little cinnamon and sugar and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray; set aside.
• Working over a large sheet of parchment paper, sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt; gather sifted ingredients into center of sheet; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine vegetable oil, sugar, and eggs; mix on high speed until lemon yellow.
• Fold reserved parchment in half lengthwise; with mixer on medium speed, gradually shake in dry ingredients until just incorporated.
• Add apples and, if desired, nuts, to batter; mix to combine. Add vanilla, mixing until incorporated.
• Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 75 to 90 minutes.
• Remove from oven, and cool slightly on a wire rack.
• Invert cake onto rack; turn cake right-side up to cool completely on rack, and serve drizzled with caramel sauce.

Steps:

• For the apples: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass baking pan.
• Mix together the apples, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• For the cake: Combine the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand-held mixer, beat on medium high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined, then add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and buttermilk. Beat on low speed until a few streaks remain, then fold together with a rubber spatula until fully combined. (Do not overmix.)
• Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with half of the apple mixture. Spread the batter over the top of the apples. Top the batter with the remaining apples, making decorative rows across the cake. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow the cake to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 10 inch tube pan. Cover raisins with warm water, let soak for 10 minutes and then drain. Whisk together flour, spices, and salt. Set aside.
• Cream together butter or margarine and sugar. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Stir together soda and 1 tablespoon warm water, and mix into the sugar mixture. Stir in flour mixture, apples, and strained raisins until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool in pan. Once cool, shake pan to loosen cake. Turn onto plate, and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, stir together cake mix, oil and eggs until combined and dough forms. Stir in chopped apple.
• Onto ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Remove cookies from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave frosting on High 10 seconds. Drizzle melted frosting over cooled cookies.

Steps:
