Dutch Apple Cake With Vanilla Sauce
"I found this recipe in a magazine a long time ago (can't recall the name). It's very simple and absolutely delicious, especially when served warm with vanilla ice cream. I added a streusel topping for the "cobbler effect" which may be omitted, if you wish. My friends and family loved it. I hope you do, too!"

I loved this apple cake. So delicious! I did add some cinnamon to the batter and also to the crumb topping. The best apple cake I have made so far. It disappeared quickly. So...so... Good! -
We really liked this recipe. The cake was nice and moist. The vanilla sauce really made the recipe. My vanilla sauce was clear, though, unlike the picture. I liked the streusel as well. In the future, I will probably try adding some cinnamon and maybe some nutmeg to the apples. Thanks for the excellent recipe. -
Just GREAT . . . omitted the vanilla sauce . . . thanks ! -
How neat - a cake that looks like a pie! This was very pretty, and absolutely delicious! To the chopped apple, I added 1/2 teaspoon each of cinnamon and ginger. The streusel made a good cake even better, so I'm glad I didn't omit it. I found I only needed half of the streusel topping to cover the cake, though. I didn't have ice cream in the house, so I decorated the cake with whipped cream and cinnamon. I liked the vanilla sauce, but the cake would still be equally tasty without it. This is a keeper! -
Yummy and quick and easy. Loved the streusel topping. I sprinkled some cinnamon with sugar on the apples. Just used vanilla sauce for the cake. Thank-you Sara I will be putting this in my book. Also loved the idea of it in a pie plate.

Hello.. :) Boy, am I glad I discovered RecipeZaar! I've found some really great recipes here. I'm from Long Island, NY, but recently relocated to Port St. Lucie, FL. I work as a Document Specialist for a large publishing company. I love to cook; I don't have a favorite cookbook - I enjoy trying out recipes from ordinary people who are willing to share them. :) My passions are cooking, baking, my pets, shopping, reading, listening to music and watching movies. I have lots of pet peeves, but one of my biggest are people who don't use seasoning in their foods! lol. If I had a month off from work with no responsibilities (assuming this is with pay, of course) I would shop, shop & shop! :)
