Apple No Pie Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the apple pie spice: Mix together the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom if using in a small bowl.
• For the apples: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the apple halves core-side down on a flat surface. Before slicing, place chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of them to make sure you don't cut all the way through. Slice almost all the way to the bottom of each apple half at 1/4-inch intervals, then place them on a sheet pan.
• Mix 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of the apple pie spice and the orange juice in a pitcher. Drizzle over the apples, making sure they are well coated and the drizzle goes into the slits. Bake until they are just starting to get tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the oats, almonds, salt, remaining melted butter, remaining brown sugar, orange zest and remaining apple pie spice. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the apples, making sure to get some between the slices without breaking the apples. Bake until the topping is slightly crisp and golden, another 10 minutes. Drizzle with honey and serve with ice cream.

Steps:

• Make the cutouts: Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Unroll the pie dough and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top, pressing to adhere. Cut out about 20 leaf shapes using small cookie cutters. Arrange on the baking sheet and bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool.
• Make the cake: Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚ F; butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, allspice and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and vegetable oil in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until combined. Beat in both sugars until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk in two batches. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until combined. Fold in the diced apples.
• Transfer the batter to the baking dish and spread in an even layer. Bake until golden, slightly risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan.
• Make the frosting: Set a heatproof bowl over a saucepan with 2 inches of barely simmering water. Add the brown sugar, egg whites and cinnamon to the bowl; stir with a rubber spatula until the sugar melts, about 8 minutes. (Pinch the mixture; it should feel smooth.) Remove the bowl from the pan and beat with a mixer on low speed until frothy. As the mixture begins to lighten in color, increase the speed to medium high and whip until stiff glossy peaks form. Beat in the butter 2 tablespoons at a time, making sure it is incorporated before adding more. (If the frosting separates, reduce the mixer to medium low and beat until it comes back together. If the frosting is soupy, refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes, then continue beating.)
• Spread the frosting on the cake. Decorate with the leaf cutouts.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Using an electric mixer or a pastry cutter, cut in butter until the mixture forms pea-size pieces. Press 2/3 of the mixture onto bottom and 1 inch up the side of a 9-inch springform pan.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel apples, cut into thin slices, and place in a bowl. Pour off any accumulated liquid. Toss apple slices with remaining teaspoon cinnamon and lemon juice, and put them in the prepared pan, pressing down gently as you pack them in (they will mound above the edge of the pan). Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture on top.
• Put the pan on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, and let the cake cool in the pan to set. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, mix gelatin, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1-1/2 cups water. Add apples; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until apples are tender, about 5 minutes., In a bowl, mix pudding mix and remaining water; stir into apple mixture. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in nuts. Transfer to crust., Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. If desired, serve with whipped topping.

Steps:

• In a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the egg and mix until smooth.
• With the mixer on low, beat in dry ingredients until smooth (at this point the batter will be quite thick). Fold in the apples and nuts by hand.
• Spread batter evenly into a greased and floured 9-inch fluted tart or quiche pan with 1-inch sides. (Alternatively you can use a 9-inch cake pan with 1-inch sides.) Bake until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
