Joan E. Bergner, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, sent this recipe for apple cake. She wrote: “Enclosed is an old family recipe for Apple Slab Cake of my grandmother’s, given to me by my aunt….This is a large cake and takes some time to prepare, but well worth the time and effort. It is enjoyed in our family by three generations.”

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup solid vegetable shortening
• 2 egg yolks
• 8 tablespoons water
• 6 teaspoons warm water
• 14 to 16 medium tart apples, pared and sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cups powdered sugar

Procedure

To make the crust: Combine 3 cups flour, salt, 3 tablespoons sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or two knives.

In a separate bowl, mix egg yolks and 8 tablespoons of water. Add to flour mixture. Mix well until dough forms a ball. Separate into 2 balls. Roll one ball to cover the width and length of the jellyroll pan. Press onto bottom and up sides of lightly greased pan.

To make apple filling: Arrange apple slices over crust. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour, the remaining 1 1/2 to 2 cups of sugar, and the cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over apples. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with lemon juice. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Roll out the second ball of dough to make the top crust. Place over fruit and pinch edges to seal. Bake 1 hour or until crust is light golden brown. When the pie is done, remove it from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.

Make the glaze by blending powdered sugar with the remaining 1 teaspoon butter. Slowly add the remaining 6 teaspoons of warm water and mix until smooth. Top cooled cake with glaze. Makes 15 to 20 servings. Although this dessert is called a cake, the consistency is more similar to that of a pie.

Apple Dumplings with Cheddar Pastry 

Source: Good Housekeeping

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup shortening or butter-flavor shortening
• 1 (4 ounces) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (1 cup)
• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup dark seedless raisins
• 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 6 small Golden Delicious apples (about 2 pounds)
• 1 large egg
• 6 whole cloves
• 1 1/4 cups apple cider or apple juice
• 1/2 cup maple or maple flavor syrup

Procedure

Prepare pastry dough: In a large bowl, with a fork, stir flour and salt. With a pastry blender or two knives used scissor-fashion, cut shortening into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in cheese. Sprinkle 8 to 9 tablespoons cold water, a tablespoon at a time, into the mixture, mixing lightly with fork after each addition until dough is just moist enough to hold together. With hands, shape dough into a ball. In small bowl, with fork, mix brown sugar, raisins, walnuts, margarine or butter, and cinnamon.

Peel apples; remove cores but do not go all the way through apples. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Reserve 1/3 cup pastry dough. On a well-floured surface, with a floured rolling pin, roll out the remaining dough into a 21 x 14-inch rectangle. With a pastry wheel or knife, cut dough into six 7-inch squares.

In cup, with a fork, beat egg and 1 teaspoon water. Center an apple on the square of dough. Spoon one-sixth of sugar mixture into the cavity in apple. Brush edges of the square with some egg mixture. Bring points of square up over apple, pinching edges together to seal well.

Repeat with remaining dough squares, apples, and sugar mixture. With pancake turner, place dumplings in greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. On a floured surface, with a floured rolling pin, roll out reserved dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut 12 leaves from dough; score with the tip of a knife to make “veins.” Brush dumplings with some egg mixture; press 2 leaves on top of each dumpling and brush them with egg mixture. Press cloves, rounded-side down, into dumplings to resemble stems. Bake dumplings for 35 minutes.

In a bowl, with a spoon, stir apple cider and maple syrup; pour cider mixture over dumplings. Bake dumplings 15 minutes longer (cover with foil after 3 minutes if dumplings are over-browning), basting occasionally with cider mixture in a baking dish, until pastry is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with a skewer. Serves: 6
