| Hey, I'm there. It has heavy cream in it. I'll just omit the rum. Thanks! |
|
| That is why I added the "rum extract"!! RL` |
|

| Had to say that I tryed this recipe today and it is very good! I used one cup of brown sugar and one cup of white sugar for the batter and used brown sugar in the topping. I was trying to use up some of the brown sugar I had. Also, instead of the heavy cream, I just used the skim milk I had on hand.....and it was still very good!!! A scoop of ice cream or a dollop of cool whip would be great with this too, but it really doesn't need anything extra. |
|
| Gee Mary, you have had this recipe for a while!! LOL. Was a toss up the other day if I was going to make this or a pound cake. Had a new, to me, extract that I wanted to try so the pound cake won out but this one won't be far behind. Glad you enjoyed it. |

| Roselin32, I just found your recipe today as I was going back through the threads, and as we have apple tree's in our yard, I thought I would make it. It was a big hit with the hubby, he had two big pieces at dinner! I wasn't far behind him! |
|
| Mary, when we were in Germany, I had to make that at least once a week for my husband's deputy and it seems he always knew when it was ready. It is a nice one for this time of year and I couldn't tell you where I got it from. Apple desserts are my husband's favorites too. And you are more than welcome. Glad you are going back thru the old recipes-there are some good ones there. |

| OK you all, how do you grate apples?? When I tried they turned to mush?? Sally |
|
| Sally, I use the coarse side on one of those four sided graters. Like the one in this picture. I haven't had a problem with the apples going mushy. Ann |

| Sally, I put the slices/pcs. in the food processor for a few seconds until they were chopped up. It works very well. I am going to have to make more topping though to use for the rest of the cake. Next time I will double the topping ingredients! |
|
| Farmhouseindy, what kind of apples are you using?? We always have the small Galas here 4/$1 or so and those grate really easily. I have a grater I brought back from Germany that is very sharp so that has never been a problem but think Mary's idea to chop them up coarsely in the food processor is a good one too. Now, then Mary, I don't think the cake is supposed to be swimming in the topping!! LOL-but I like lots too. |
