Apple Cake and Streusel Topping

What to do? With three apples on the way out in the fridge, not enough to make a pie, and a can of apple pie filling but no flaky pie dough.  The answer –  Apple cake and streusel topping. 

This isn’t a traditional recipe since  I’m using pie filling but it did come out fairly well, and with the streusel topping it’s great.

Ingredients for Apple cake and Streusel Topping

For the Cake:

  1. 2 cups all purpose flour
  2. 2 tsp baking soda
  3. 2 tsp baking powder
  4. 1 can apple pie filling
  5. 1 cup suar
  6. 1 tsp cinnamon
  7. 1/2 cup butter melted
  8. 2 eggs
  9. 2 Tbsp butter to grease pan

For Streusel Topping

  1. 8 Tbsp butter melted
  2. 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1/3 cup brown sugar
  4. pinch table salt
  5. 1 Tbsp cinnamon
  6. 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  7. Powered sugar for topping (optional)

 

Directions for Apple Cake and Streusel Topping 

Prepare the topping first.  Place the sugars, cinnamon,salt and flour in a bowl and stir to combine.  Pour the melted butter in and stir with a fork until all is combined and you have small pea sized pieces throughout.  Don’t break the pieces any smaller, you want the clumps in the final product.

For the Cake:

You can make this in a mixer, but it works best with a large bowl and a large spatula.

Butter a 9 X 13 inch baking pan.

Preheat oven to 325°

In the bowl place the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar into the bowl and combine.  Add the pie filling and stir until all the flour mixture is combined, then add the melted butter and eggs and mix completely.

Pour into the baking pan and smooth out, sprinkle the streusel topping over the top covering the cake completely.

Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick placed into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven place on a wire rack and let cool completely.  If you want it sweet sprinkle the powdered sugar over all.

Fougasse with Streusel Topping – A Sweet Breakfast Bread

 

012

 

 

 

 

 

Fougasse

This is the French flatbread the equivalent of focaccia and more.  A flat bread sometimes shaped like a leaf and flavored with herbs and sea salt.  It can be like a calzone with bacon and cheese folded into it.  Served like a pizza or served like a streuselkuchen with fruit and streusel topping as a breakfast treat.

As a breakfast bread it is usually made with berries covered with the crumble topping.  My take is a little different but just as tasty.

Ingredients for Fougasse

  1. ¼ of a focaccia dough recipe
  2. ¼ – ½  cup Orange Marmalade
  3. ½ a recipe of crumble topping

Ingredients for Crumble topping

  1. ½ cup melted butter(not too hot)
  2. 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1/3 cup brown sugar
  4. 1¾ cups of all purpose flour
  5. 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  6. confectioner’s sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions for Fougasse

Preheat oven to 450°

Take ¼ of the Focaccia recipe ( http://wp.me/s371lr-focaccia ) and remove from the refrigerator take it out of it’s ziplock bag and place on a lightly floured surface.  Gently form into a ball and lightly dust top with flour and cover with a  towel or loosely with plastic wrap and let it stand for about an hour and a half.

Take a 9 X 9 inch cake pan and put about 2 Tbs of Olive oil in the bottom and swirl to coat.

Take the dough and gently press the it into the shape of the pan and if large amount of the oil pools at the side,  lift the dough slightly to allow it underneath.  Gently spread the marmalade over the dough and then cover completely with the crumble topping ( recipe to follow)  pressing it lightly into the dough so that it adheres.

Bake for about 20 minutes at 450°, remove from the oven and take out of cake pan onto a wire rack to cool. Once cool, dust lightly with the confectioner’s sugar,

Directions for the Crumble Topping

Melt the butter and let it cool slightly , you do not want it too hot.

Combine the flour the sugars and cinnamon in a large bowl and mix to combine.  Add the melted butter and with a fork stir to mix being careful not to break up the large clumps that form, continue to mix until all the ingredients are combined.

Spread over your desired recipe pressing gently to make it adhere to the mixture and bake according the recipe.
