    Recipe Introduction


    Sometimes I make this in loaf pans, sometimes as muffins, sometimes in ramekins. It�s up to you.

    List of Ingredients




    4 cups unpeeled chopped apples
    1 cup sugar
    2 eggs (slightly beaten)
    � cup corn or canola oil
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    � teaspoon allspice
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 cup raisins
    1 cup chopped fresh cranberries
    � cup butterscotch bits
    1 cup broken nuts (walnuts or pecans)

    Recipe



    Preheat over to 325. Prepare pans.

    Mix apples and sugar in a large bowl and set aside. Mix eggs, oil and vanilla in a separate bowl. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice and salt with a fork in yet another bowl.

    Next, combine egg mixture with apples and sugar. Combine flour mixture with apple mixture. Mix thoroughly; it�s very chunky. Then add raisins, cranberries, nuts and butterscotch bits into mixture until evenly distributed.

    Bake for 25-30 minutes. You may need to bake a little longer for loaf or bundt pans. Check with toothpick. Serve warm or at room temp.

    For added moisture, drizzle with Bourbon Sauce. (see below.)

    Bourbon Sauce:
    � cup brown sugar
    3 teaspoons butter
    � cup Bourbon

    Melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and Bourbon. Simmer on low heat, stirring often to cook off some of the alcohol, about 5 minutes. Poke holes in surface of warm cake with wooden skewer and drizzle with sauce. Cover and let stand for a least an hour before serving. Freezes well.
