Description: 

A fragrant vanilla crust with a vanilla cinnamon apple filling

Yield: 

12-16 servings

Ingredients: 

Cake Crust:

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2+ cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Apple Mixture:

7-9 cups sliced peeled cooking/baking apples*
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar

Vanilla Sauce:

3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting finished cake

Instructions: 

1. In a large bowl, combine all crust ingredients to make a soft but stiff dough. Add more flour as needed to ensure that you have a dough and not a batter. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 15 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, toss the apples with lemon juice and 1/4 cup sugar.

3. Grease the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Pat dough evenly on the bottom and sides of the pan (dough should be about 1/8-1/4 inches thick). Fill with apple mixture, pressing gently. Cover with foil.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes; remove foil and bake for an additional 45 minutes or until apples are soft. The apples on top will look a little dry; use a fork or toothpick to test apples for doneness.

5. In a bowl, combine vanilla sauce ingredients in order listed. Pour over hot cake, allowing sauce to fill between  the apples. Bake for another 20-25 minutes.

6. Cool cake on wire rack; cover with plastic wrap and chill for 4-6 hours of overnight. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Tammy's Review: 

Is it a cake... or a pie? I have trouble deciding. What I don't have trouble deciding, though, is that this is a really yummy dessert!! It is so flavorful and moist. It's easier to make than it sounds from the recipe -- it's actually fairly quick once you have your apples all peeled and sliced. And, you can make it ahead of time and refrigerate until needed. This is a very good apple dessert. My rating: 10/10
