Years ago, Ryan and I bought a cookbook of favorite recipes from the farmers of Apple Hill in Camino, CA. This weekend, I tried the following recipe from that cookbook and took it to share with some of my girlfriends during a GNO. It was a big hit!
½ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 ¼ cup flour
1 tsp. Baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
1/8 tsp allspice
Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and then vanilla.
Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and allspice. Gradually add flour mixture to cream mixture. Mix well. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
½ cup sugar
½ tsp. Cinnamon
2 medium size apples, finely chopped
3 oz. Crushed pineapple
Stir sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle half of it over a lightly greased round cake pan. Mix apple and pineapple, spread in pan. Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.
Spoon batter evenly over pineapple and apples. Bake for 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Turn onto a serving plate.
*I served this with cool whip. It is yummy with or without. :)
OH MY GOODNESS! There is an Apple Hill cookbook?! I LOVE Apple Hill! I miss it... Haven't been there since I was living in CA 10 years ago. What is the name of the cookbook? OH, and thanks for this recipe- I WILL be trying it out someday soon!
ReplyDeleteWell, we bought it right after we were married, so that was 13 years ago. But I'm sure that even if they don't have this same cookbook, they MUST have others. The one I have is: Favorite Recipes from our Family Farms. And it has a sign that says "Apple Hill Growers" on it.
ReplyDelete***Did some searching online. I think this must be it. What I have is a binder with three volumes in it. So, I'm pretty sure this link is what you want: http://www.applehill.com/site/cookbook.html
