Overnight Apple Cake
"I came across this recipe while perusing some lovely foodie blogs. The title intrigued me and this simple recipe, as yet untested sounds like it will be delicious. Not really a cake as there is no flour, just delicious slow cooked apples."
- Ready In:
- 12hrs 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 4 lbs cooking apples, granny smiths
- 1 orange
- 3⁄4 cup sugar, more if required
- 2 tablespoons butter
directions
- Preheat the oven to 175°F Choose a 6-cup souffle/ovenproof dish, generously grease it with one tablespoon of butter. Cut a round of parchment to fit inside the dish, generously grease it on one side with the remaining tablespoon butter.
- Place the sugar in a bowl. Zest about 1 tablespoon of the orange zest into the sugar bowl, rub the zest into the sugar with your fingertips. Halve the orange and squeeze its juice into another bowl. Peel the apples, core them, and thinly slice them into rings (if you don't want to bother coring, simply halve them and thinly slice). Add the apple slices to the bowl with the orange juice as you work to prevent discoloring, tossing them to coat.
- Layer the apple slices, overlapping them, in the prepared dish, sprinkling each layer with a little of the sugar. Place the parchment round, buttered-side down, over the apples. Place in the oven for 12 hours.
- Remove the apple dish from the oven, there should be a good amount of bubbling juice. Pressing down on the parchment with an oven mitt, pour off the juice into a sauce pan. Bring the juice to a simmer and boil until brightly colored and thickened. Meanwhile, invert the apple cake onto a serving plate. Drizzle with the juices.

I love my job and find it both challenging and rewarding. I enjoy cooking and have, after a period of low enthusiasm, started to cook more and more new recipes that I have found online. I am working on a ring binder of recipes so the children can be more involved in the food they eat and will hopefully create our perfect cookbook of food we all love.<img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png border=0 alt=Made by Bella14ragazza /> <br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v51/tiggrr34/?action=view&current=HolidayOrnamentSwapTag2c-1-1-1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/tiggrr34/HolidayOrnamentSwapTag2c-1-1-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /></a><a href=http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/1a511f23-1.gifborder=> <br /> <br /></a><a href=http://s201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/?action=view&current=1a511f23-1.gif target=_blank><img src=http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/1a511f23-1.gif border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/HolidayCardSwapBannerP-1.jpg alt= /></a></p>
