Apple Cake and Cookies

The healthiest snack we can have with the apple.  Let us review some of these items here:

Apple and Rum Custard Cake

Ingredients:

5 Tablespoon sugar

2/3 cup butter (or margarine)

1 Tablespoon milk

½ cup soft bread crumbs

4 cup apples, tart, sliced

¼ cup sugar

¼ cup rum

1/3 cup sugar

1 ½ cup flour, unbleached, unsifted

1 Tablespoon lemon rind, grated

1 egg yolk, large

Filling:

2 Tablespoon butter (or margarine), melted

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

¼ cup raisins,

3 eggs, large, beaten

1¾ cup milk

Soak raisins in 1/4 cup rum for 1/2 hour before using.

CRUST: To make crust, mix flour, sugar, and lemon rind. Cut in butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and 1 Tablespoon of milk; mix gently to form a dough. Pat into bottom of a 10-inch Springform pan that has sides only greased.  Press dough up sides of pan for 1 inch.

FILLING: Toss together bread crumbs and melted butter. Spread evenly over pastry crust. Toss apple slices, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Spread apples over crumbs. Drain raisins, reserving rum, and sprinkle raisins over apples. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 15 minutes. Beat eggs and sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Stir in milk and reserved rum. Pour custard over apples and bake for 45 to 60 minutes at 350 degrees F. until custard is set. Cool completely before serving. Do NOT remove springform pan until cool.  This should provide us 8 servings.
