Меня заинтересовала разница между Apple sauce and Apple butter. Как я и представляла - butter это концентрививанный соус и ещё со специями - корица, мускатный орех и можно взять любые на вкус. Соус - пюре из яблок. Яблоки пекутся в духовке или тушатся в толстостенной кастрюле. Если дальше упаривать пюре, то получится "butter".
А на основе этого "масла" пекутся пироги. Да и на соусе тоже можно делать маффины, пироги и др. выпечку.

APPLE BUTTER CAKE
- 1/2 c. shortening (растительное или сливочное масло)
- 1 c. sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 c. apple butter
- 2 1/2 c. sifted cake flour
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 c. sour milk (кефир или йогурт)
- 1/2 c. apple butter - to cover the cake
с - сокращенно "cup".
1 cup (чашка) = 250 мл
Cream together shortening and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time; beat until light and fluffy. Stir in 1 cup apple butter.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, alternately with sour milk. (To make sour milk: Measure 1 tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice and add milk to make 1 cup.)
Turn into greased and lightly floured 9 inch cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Remove pans and cool thoroughly.
Spread bottom layer of cooled cake with 1/4 cup apple butter. Top with 1 cup fluffy frosting, spreading evenly to cover apple butter. Cover with top cake layer.
Frost sides and top of cake with remaining fluffy frosting. Swirl remaining 1/4 cup apple butter onto frosted top to give a marbled effect.
FLUFFY FROSTING
- 2 egg whites
- 1 1/2 c. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1/2 c. cold water
- dash salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Place egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, water and salt in top of double boiler. Do not heat. Beat 1 minute with electric beater. Place over boiling water and cook, beating constantly until frosting forms stiff peaks, about 7 minutes. Remove top and from boiling water and add vanilla. Beat until of spreading consistency, about 2 minutes more.
