This recipe is from 'The Best of HeartSmart Cooking' by Bonnie Stern. My girlfriend made it recently and K loved it, so I had to ask her for the recipe.
Makes 12 pieces
1 egg
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/3 c vegetable oil
3 tbs orange or apple juice
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
1/3 c brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 apples, peeled and sliced
1. In a large bowl, beat together egg and granulated sugar until thick and light. Beat in oil, juice and vanilla.
2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into egg mixture and combine until just blended
3. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon
4. Arrange apples in bottom of a lightly oiled 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle with half the brown sugar mixture. Smooth batter on top. Sprinkle with remaining brown sugar mixture.
5. Bake in preheated 350F oven for 35 to 40 mins, or until cake slightly comes away from sides of pan. Cool for 10 minutes before serving from the pan.

I heard this lady at the gym yesterday saying in an almost guilty manner: 'You know, I'm glad the holidays are over, it's hard work'. I agree with her. Then I heard this one young woman say that she was suffering from a painful bout of tendonitis in her arm, and suffered a debilitating migraine at New Year's. Maybe we all need a trip south to some warm weather!
A recent 'Eat this not that' newsletter surprised me by saying that an english muffin with egg, cheese and bacon is healthier than a plain bagel with light cream cheese.
L is planning to see the new movie 'Leap Year' with her friends. I wouldn't mind seeing that one myself.

ReplyDeleteYummy! Apple and cinny. The best! I would like to see Leap Year, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThat apple cake recipe sounds quite intriguing and healthy.
ReplyDeleteTendonitis? I've had adhesive capsilitis and tendonitis in my shoulder and it's terrible! It took months of physical therapy to get over it both times. NO FUN! Now my brother has it. I guess it must be hereditary, too.
I have Norwalk so when I first read the recipe I saw 12 eggs and thought how can that be healthy LoL ~ then I re-read it. Flu-brain sucks! I am going to try making the cake and use only 1 egg :o)
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you for sharing that recipe!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can think of with the English muffin v bagel and cream chesse is the English muffin has more protein and fat in it so it stays with you longer? Hmmm.
Pete, Kary, Lizzie, Kay, SoccerMom, Japra, I'm glad you all liked that recipe. We made it last night and it was sooo yummy, I recommend it if you like sweet things.
ReplyDeleteJapra, the article wasn't specific as to why the plain bagel and light cream cheese is worse, just alluded to the bagel being full of dough and the cream cheese being fatty. So it must be that an English muffin is better than a bagel and the egg, cheese and bacon is more protein than just the cream cheese.
