CHUNKY APPLE CAKE FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO GET CHUNKY & Update On Mr T.

Helllooooo Wisconsin!

We DO like our butter here.

We also like apples...

okay..and flour and sugar...

I have played with this recipe over the years

and it is pretty darned good -

if I do say so myself.

I made this when my cousins 
from Pennsylvania
were here a while ago.

Sure do love my cousins and don't see them
nearly often enough.

One cousin contacted me for the recipe

so I assume that means it was good.

Anyway-that meant I needed to type it out.

Here it is.

Grease a 9x13 pan.  Preheat oven to 300

Mix together:

2 cups flour

2 cups sugar (white)

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon ( I used Apple Pie spice)

dash of salt

Add  above to:

Two sticks butter

Four eggs

Cream two sticks butter and blend in 4 room temperature eggs(that is important-don't use cold eggs) 

Add the flour mixture above.

Stir until well blended.

Then stir in:

4 cups peeled apple chunks

2 cups walnuts

Spread in greased pan.

Bake ONE hour a 300.  It is hard to test for doneness because the apples stay "wet".  It should look a bit "dry" on top.  You may have to add additional time depending on how much water your apples have in them.

Cool completely and frost with Cream Cheese Frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 stick butter

3/4 pound confectionery sugar

2 tsp vanilla

1 -8 oz pkg cream cheese

Cream butter and cream cheese together and add sugar. Beat well and then add the vanilla.

I also sprinkle the top very lightly with the Apple Pie spice after it is frosted.

Serve with good hot coffee or tea or ice cold milk.,

These two little girls sure loved a treat...
They are older now but still
as sweet as they were back then.

I think I might make a pan of this for fun-

just in case anyone in the family  
 is thinking about getting skinny on me!

Have a wonderful day-

I will visit as I can!

Oh- and-
Remember the prayer request here 
for Mr T?
They did a spiral biopsy but it was inconclusive.
He is having another biopsy next week.
Please continue to keep him in your prayers.
He is not doing well at all.
His mom-my friend,Sandy,
is holding up pretty well.
She's a trooper--but pray for her, too.
You all know how hard it is to 
have a sick child.
We'd rather be sick ourselves.
Love you guys---
will visit as I can.
