Now Apple Cake

Yesterday I was reading two different recipes, one for Yuma Dump Cake, a rather primitive concoction with a very simple batter and apple-pie-filling all mixed together and baked, and the other a lemon blueberry cake of the same type but with a more sophisticated cake batter. 

Today at the Walmart I saw "Southern Style Fried Apples (Fat Free)"  in a can and figured they'd be a fine substitute for canned filling.  So I came home and made the following, using ideas from both recipes.


Apple Cake

Sift into a mixing bowl:

2 1/2 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1/4 t. soda
1/4 t. salt

In another bowl mix:

3/4 c. reduced fat sour cream
1/4 c. low fat milk
2 eggs
1/4 c. melted butter
grated zest of one lemon
1 t. vanilla extract

Beat all the liquid ingredients together.

Add the apple slices after chopping them into small bites....

BAKE for 1 hour at 350 degrees or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.  Cool in pan 45 minutes...It is amazingly DELICIOUS but would be better made on a cool winter's day than the hottest day of Chula Vista history.
