baronessekatI made this recipe once before for GRE 2008. Only then I did not frost it.
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups coarsely chopped apples [I used 1 granny smith and 2 pink lady]
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups sifted all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) [I used pecans]
DIRECTIONS:
1. combine apples and sugar; let stand
2. beat eggs slightly; beat in oil and vanilla
3. mix and sift flour, salt, soda, cinnamon; stir into egg mixture alternately with apple mixture; stir in nuts
4. transfer into greased and floured 13x9x2 pan. Bake at 350ºF for about 1 hour
5. Frost with lemon butter frosting (below)
Frosting: cream 4 Tbsp butter add 3 cups confectioners sugar, beat in 2 Tbsp lemon juice, add enough water for spreading consistency. Pinch of salt as desired.
I did not make the lemon butter frosting for Weaselmas. Instead I made Peanut Butter Frosting. It consisted of 1 stick real butter, 3/4 cup all natural peanut butter (the kind you need to stir before you do anything with it) and about 2 cups confectioner's sugar (I say about as I just did a "that looks right" method of measuring).
Shall see what the Dicea thinks when she has it.
