Just thought that I would share this one that I got from my granma years ago.

Apple knobby cake

3 Tbs. butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour (regular or whole wheat both work well)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. each cinnamon, nutmeg and salt
3 cups of diced apples, too small
1/4 cup of chopped nut meats if you like them.

Mix the butter, sugar,egg and vanilla together. Add the flour, soda and spices to the bowl and mix well. Then fold in the apples and nuts.

Bake at 350 F in a 9" square pan or a 7 by 11 pan for 40 to 45 min. Serve warm or room temp.

I like to put a little vanilla ice cream on it for a real treat.

Yum! Sounds great!

how do you dice anything? do you just like, wail away with the knife and hope no fingers come off, or...?

i'm kind of new to the cooking scene!

Dicing means to cut into cubes. For this rec. you need to make the dice about 1/2 an inch. HTH.

oh okay i had always thought that diced meant... oh wait. a lightbulb just went off. i'm thinking MINCED.

*slaps forhead*

thanks.

3 cups of diced apples, too small

What did you mean by "too small" for the apples?

Try to keep the size between 1/2" and 3/4" so you have bits of apple to bite into when you eat it. Much bigger and they may not cook through in the amount of time it takes to bake the cake part. If you get them too small you end up with little pockets of apple sauce. HTH

That sounds super yummy. I might have to make that tomorrow.

it isssss yummy- good post ma!
