Glazed Apple Cake
One of the joys of autumn is fresh apples. In groves and farmers' markets around the country people are celebrating the harvest. Whether served sliced over a salad, baked in pies or eaten right off the tree, this fruit is a delicacy of the season.
Baking this apple cake is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon, especially if it is cold and rainy. The cinnamon and apples will warm your home with the aroma of autumn.
Ingredients
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup oil
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups flour, unbleached
- 4 cups apples, chopped
- 2 tbsp. milk
- powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 packed cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 cup peacans, chopped
- 1 stick sweet cream butter
Instructions
To prepare the cake mix the oil, white sugar, and eggs; then add in sifted flour, vanilla, 1/8 tsp. salt, soda, cinnamon, apples, nuts, and raisins.
Spray a bundt pan with non-stick spray.
Scoop the mixture, it will be thicker than most cake batters, and bake at 325 degrees F for 90 minutes or until it tests done. Set aside to cool while you make the glaze.
The glaze is made by mixing the butter, some salt, brown sugar and milk in a saucepan. Heat and stir until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in enough powdered sugar until the glaze reaches spreading consistency.
Remove the cake from the bundt pan and drizzle with warm glaze.
Notes
Time to prepare: 2 hours.

My Mother said the recipe looked wonderful on the show but it might have been an old family recipe, they where very vague in the amounts

I would assume the powered sugar would go in the glaze the amount would probably be 1/2 to 1 c. depending on the consistency you would want for your glaze & how much, My mother wanted the recipe also but it is scrambled

Just saw this on tv today, the nuts are not in the glaze but in the recipe, everything that's not in the cake, would be used for the glaze. Hope this helps
