Carmel Apple Cake

I have been craving apples and have more ideas on the horizon so stay tuned.  This cake exceeded my expectations.  And the carmel sauce got rave reviews.  The cake did not make it more than a few hours and I was thinking of making another.



    Ingredients for cake
    3/4 cup + 1 tbsp of unbleached all purpose flour
    3/4 tsp baking powder
    1/8 tsp salt
    3 very large organic apples, peeled, cored and chopped into 1-inch chunks
    2 large eggs
    3/4 cup sugar
    2 tbsp Frangelico 
    1 tsp vanilla
    6 tbs  butter, melted 

    Ingredients for Carmel Sauce

    6 tbsp organic butter
    1 tsp frangelico
    1 cup sugar
    1/4 cup organic milk

    Directions;  This cake is a couple of steps but it really is worth the extra effort. 
    Pre-heat oven to 350.

    Peel, core and chop apples into cubes.

    sift flour, baking powder, and salt.  with a whisk mix in melted butter until crumbly.  

    In a separate bowl cream eggs and sugar until slightly frothy.  Add in Frangelico and vanilla.  Mix thoroughly.  
    Go back to your flour mixure and slowly start adding in you egg and sugar mixture, whisking your mixture as you go.  Continue adding  and mixing until creamy and complete.
      
    Add cubed apples and fold in with a soft spatula.  Place in a greased round 8 inch baking dish.  I one of my pie dishes for a great home cooked rustic look.
    Place in oven and let cook for 50 to 60 minutes until and toothpick comes out clean and the  top of cake is golden.  


    While cake is baking make your carmel sauce.

    Place sugar in a sauce pan on med to high head.  Using a wire whisk keep sugar moving so that is melts evenly.  Once all sugar is melted and amber in color.  Add butter.  Once butter is melted and fully incorporated.  remove form heat. Add Frangelico let cool a little and add in the milk this just thins the sauce out so that it drizzles better.  Once finished sauce can be refrigerated and warmed when putting over the cake.  
    This cake is great warm and delicious  alone or with ice cream.  You will have enough sauce to top some ice cream.

I know Taco night is So easy.  I set mine up like a taco bar.  My kids love taco night, they request it since everyone gets a taco just the way they want. Make Bean Dip for taco night. 1 lb shrimp 1 lb ground sirloin 2 packages your favorite taco seasoning (preservative free) 1 package shredded mexican blend cheese head of organic iceberg lettuce 2 organic tomatoes 2 Avocados 1 jar your favorite salsa (preservative free) 6 or more taco shells tortilla chips 1 container sour cream organic I little side note I have found some great seasonings, salsas and taco shells that are made local and are preservative free.  Look around your grocery, you may find similar items. Directions Put beef and 1 package seasoning in skillet and break up while cooking until all meat is browned.  In another skillet put your cleaned shrimp with shell and tail removed.  Add other package of seasoning to shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink.  Heat taco shells in oven according to directions.

I Have A Problem

 I am writing something other than a recipe today.  Because I wanted to let my readers know about my problem.  The pictures I post, most of the time are my own of the food I make. I try to post something I have recently made at home so, I can give my readers a fresh picture of my food.  So the dishes you see are my dishes.  I have two small sets that I have mixed together. After many years of being married, my dishes from when we got married are very few.  So when we made this last move I bought some dishes that were inexpensive but I really liked.  However these dishes get hot when I reheat food in the microwave.  So last year my mother-in-law gave me a nice gift card for my birthday to a department store.  So I used that to buy a really nice set of dishes.  They are supposed to be microwave and dishwasher safe. One day warming a piece of pizza in the microwave I hear a pop.  I open the microwave and the dish has cracked all the way across. It was only in the microwave 30 seconds.
