Mini Apple Cakes

Hello! Sorry it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. If you follow me on Twitter, you may know that I recently injured my foot and am in a cast (it’s all i talk about). Taking photos in a cast is not easy! The cast should be coming off soon, so things are looking up.

I’ve decided I will start posting weekly. On Tuesdays. So be sure to check back every Tuesday. =)

Before we talk about food, I wanna talk about hurricane Sandy. Things in NYC are still a disaster. Many parts of Rockaway beach, Redhook, Coney Island, and Long Island are completely devastated. If you can, give some money to Occupy Sandy. They are doing a hell of a job helping those in need!

Okay now let’s talk about mini apple cakes. These are cute and delicious. Here’s what you’ll need:

Equipment

• Mini springform pans

Ingredients

• 3 Apples peeled and cut into slices
• 1/2 cup earth balance
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 unsweetened applesauce
• 1 tbsp non dairy milk
• 1 tbs orange juice
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla

Ingredients-Topping:

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp lemon

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Lightly grease the pans.
3. Mix the butter & sugar together.
4. Add applesauce, vanilla, orage juice, & milk. Mix.
5. Add flour & baking powder. Stir.
6. Pour batter evenly into the pans and arrange cubes on top. Only fill the pans 1/3 of the way to to the top or the cake will rise over the pan and things will get messy. Makes about 4 cakes.
7. Mix together the 3 topping ingredients and distribute over the apples.
8. Bake about 40 minutes. Or until a toothpick comes out clean.
9. Let cool before taking it out of the pan.
10. Serve with ice cream.

Till next time! xoxo
