A. Velma's Apple Cake

This is my favorite dessert of all time. I think.

This is one of my favorite desserts ever. For sure.

I have many favorite desserts because, let's face it, desserts are the best food group.

Sadly, though, no one else in my family likes this. This is something I cannot figure out. Because this cake is so. very. good. But - - this is not a recipe I would take somewhere because who wants to take a dessert that few will appreciate? But I do make this dessert often, especially during fall. And how do I make an entire pan just for me? Well, here's how I do it. I make the recipe below, and then freeze individual portions to be taken out and enjoyed for days and days to come. 

And a pan lasts a nice long time. 

And everyone is happy. 

Especially me.

A. Velma's Delicious Apple Cake

4 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced

2 eggs

2 cups sugar

Beat eggs, add sugar. Stir in apples. Let set 15 minutes.

Add to mixture:

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix well.

Pour into greased 9x13 cake pan.

Bake 350 degrees 45 minutes.

Topping

Mix:

3 heaping tablespoons flour

1 cup cold water

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

Cook until thick. Add 1/2 stick butter and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Pour on cake while hot.

**I don't pour this on the cake until I'm ready to serve it. It keeps in the frig for a couple weeks, and when I'm hungry for some apple cake, I thaw a piece, add some topping, microwave it for about 20 seconds, and then add ice cream. Or. Heat the apple cake and topping separately. Add a scoop of ice cream to the cake, and then drizzle the ice cream with the topping. Equally delicious and it looks even better.**

**This cake is also good plain, with no topping or ice cream**

 

**I do get serious about my apple cake**
