Apple season is long gone but so many apples remain in stores and even in my pantry. Seasonality is a non issue with refrigeration and imported fruits. Apples that have been stored and refrigerated to last this long tend to lose their flavor. If you just added diced apples to a recipe you would not even be able to taste the apple at all. My solution to that was to caramelize them in some butter with brown sugar.
Caramelized Apple Cake
4 granny smith apples diced and caramelized
2 sticks butter
3/4cups brown sugar
1/2cup sugar
3 eggs
2 yolks
1/2cup sour cream
2tsp vanilla extract
2.25 cup AP flour
1Tbsp baking powder
3/4tsp salt
Pre heat oven to 350F. Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs one at a time while mixer is beating slowly. Add sour cream and vanilla and beat till combined. Add dry ingredients and mix just till combined. Fold in caramelized apples. Bake in buttered tube pan coated in sugar.
If you have left over apples this is a great moist cake for afternoon tea on a rainy day.
