Olivia's Apple Cake

I asked Olivia if she'd like to bake one of her specialty desserts for our spaghetti dinner on Saturday.... And thankfully she said she would.... After tossing around a few ideas we decided we'd go with an Apple Cake.... She learned to bake several new apple desserts while Klaus was working at the Apple Packing Plant in Lafayette.... Below are a few of the ingredients she used for the cake.... (She said I couldn't share some of her secret ingredients).... Cutting up some of the apples for the cake.... Using my Pampered Chef knife.... Mixing the batter in my special mixing bowl from Tupper ware... Love this bowl... It has this special bottom that keeps it from sliding around on the counter top.......
Once she had the batter all mixed and poured into the bundt pan... Jasonn and Kyle had the honor of cleaning out the bowl..... So to make sure one didn't get more than the other... Olivia drew a line down the center of the bowl and then assigned each boy his own section....

For the topping of the cake, Olivia had to finely chop several more apples ..... This time using my Pampered Chef Chopper.... Love this thing... Makes things so much easier when preparing meals and yes even desserts....
A little Brown Sugar to sweeten the pot.....
Hey.... hey... hey.... I thought the brandy was suppose to go into the pot???
Not even melted yet and already starting to look good to me.....
Olivia getting a big hug from Jasonn...
Once the cake was baked and cooled.... it was time to spread on Olivia's special topping....
Let me tell you..... That was one delicious cake..... Later in the day after we finishe dinner and hung outside for awhile, we all came in and had dessert..... I brought a couple of slices of cake into work for Pete and Mark .... It was a big hit with both of them....... Sorry you missed out BonBon..... but you were in New York City.....
Thanks for the great dessert Olivia..... As always.... Another great success story for your baking skills!!!
