Apple Dessert

Apples are in season , and here is a recipe for those apples. This recipe comes from The Kansas City Kansan Silver Spoon Cookbook--it got first place in the 1961 and it was in the book of that year as well as the the one in 1971 for the past winners of the last decade.


Apple Dessert
Mrs. e. Brownrigg

2 cups sugar, 1 white and 1 brown
1 cup shortening, ( when I made this I used margarine)
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup chopped nuts
4 cups diced apples

Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs and beat. sift flour , baking powder, soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix with apples and nuts. Mixture will be rather firm, but apples will provide juice while baking. Batter is thick ,so it will have to spread into baking pan with a spoon. Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 30 minutesa. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
