This comes under the title what to do with a bag of apples, when
you know you can't eat them all. I started by coring the apples and dicing them
up. Then put them in a large stock pot with 1/4 cup sugar and a tablespoon on
cinnamon, added just a little water and simmered them for 2 hours.
I put them in a
container and refrigerated overnight. Cooked apples can be used in many ways,
but this is about cake.
Cake:
1 box yellow cake
mix
Eggs, oil
water
1/2 can cream
cheese frosting
1 1/2 cups cooked
apples.
1 tablespoons cinnamon
1 cup chopped
pecans

3 cups powdered
sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup milk

Cake directions
Make the cake
batter following the instructions on the back of the box. Add the cinnamon,
apples, and pecans. Pour the batter into two greases 9 inch cakes pans. Bake according
to package direction. Use the higher end of the time range.
A toothpick should
test cleanly when they are done, and should be a nice golden brown. Let them
cool before turning out on a cake plate. Use the 1/2 can of cream cheese
frosting for the first layer. Make sure in is spread evenly, then carefully put
the other layer on top. Pour the frosting over the cake, spread until smooth. Let
the frosting set up before cutting and serving.
Frosting
