I have been waiting for a reason to try this recipe- an October work potluck was the perfect opportunity. It comes from my new favorite cookbook, Good Housekeeping Step By Step Cookbook.
It really didn’t seem to be as involved as the number of steps made it seem. Also, while I of course never post a recipe that turned out crappy, this one was oh-my-sweet-goodness divine. This will definitely be a go-to recipe in the future for… well just about anything.
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup plus 2 1/2 cups flour
4 tablespoons plus 1 cup butter, softened
3 Golden Delicious apples
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 container (16 ounces) sour cream
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
Create streusel topping by mixing in a medium bowl walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, 2/3 cup flour, and 4 tablespoons butter until mixture forms large pieces.
Peel, core, and thinly slice apples. Place in another medium bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 14” by 10” pan.
In mixing bowl, beat 1 cup butter with 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add sour cream, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, eggs and 2 1/2 cups flour. Beat at low speed, increase for 1 minute at medium speed. Spread batter into pan.
Arrange apple slices on top, slightly layered, edge to edge (any uncovered batter will bake up over apples).
Crumble streusel topping over apples layer. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, until cake pulls away from sides of pan.
