    Spiced apple pie cake recipe & $25 Hodgson Mill giveaway #GRAINHoliday

    I only recommend products I use myself and all opinions expressed here are our own. This post may contain affiliate links that at no additional cost to you, I may earn a small commission.

    As part of the Hodgson Mill “Have a GRAIN Holiday” recipe contest I've made a scrumptious spiced apple pie cake recipe and want to share it with y'all.

    My family usually has a big Christmas morning brunch before opening gifts. We have ham, eggs, bacon, hashbrown casserole or fried potatoes, biscuits and gravy and my Nana makes me and KC our favorite sausage cake. I'm adding this breakfast spiced apple pie cake recipe to my Christmas morning meal routine. Is this cake a dessert or is it breakfast? I say it's both. The scent and taste of apple pie (apple and cinnamon) always makes me feel all warm and toasty on the coldest of winter days so I hope this spiced apple pie cake recipe brings you a little warmth to your table this holiday season.

    For the recipe contest 50 contestants were sent a variety of Hodgson Mill products and a set of rules to follow. We also were told to share the Hodgson Mill coupon with our readers and that we could offer our fans a $25 Hodgson Mill products giveaway. The winner gets to choose if they want their $25 in Hodgson Mill products to be gluten free or whole wheat items. You can also enter the 25 Days of Grain sweepstakes as well as our giveaway.

    ½ cup brown sugar
    ⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt
    4 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 large eggs
    ⅔ cup Hodgson Mill whole wheat pastry flour
    ½ cup Hodgson Mill white whole wheat flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    ½ teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    dash of nutmeg
    dash of all spice
    1 medium apple (peeled and cubed)
    sprays of non stick cooking spray (PAM)

    *optional brown sugar crumb topping*
    1 Tablespoon Hodgson Mill (organic, unbleached) all purpose white flour
    2 Tablespoons brown sugar
    ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    pinch of salt
    4 teaspoons melted butter

    *optional glaze topping*
    3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
    1 Tablespoon milk

    equipment used:
    mixer with set of beaters
    3 mixing bowls
    whisk
    apple slicer
    4 (7 oz. sized) ramekin dishes
    Tablespoon, teaspoon, ½ teaspoon measuring spoons
    ½ measuring cup, ⅓ measuring cup
    cutting board
    knife
    spoon
    glass bowl to melt butter in
    microwave to melt butter
    oven for baking cakes

    directions:
    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray the insides of four (4) seven ounce (7 oz.) ramekin bowls with non stick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl with a mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar together until it's light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and yogurt and stir until blended. Add the eggs and mix again until combined. In a separate bowl mix together the remaining dry ingredients. Add this mix to the bowl you have the yogurt mix in and stir well. Gently fold in the apple chunks.

    If you want the optional brown sugar crumb topping (I recommend this and the optional glaze) you need to mix the 1 Tablespoon flour, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, pinch of salt and 4 teaspoons melted butter together in a small bowl. Once you have the apple pie cake batter poured in to the 4 ramekins you can top each cake with a portion of the brown sugar crumb mix.

    Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Once you remove the baked cakes from the oven let them cool a few minutes. While they are cooling whisk together the 4 Tablespoons powdered sugar and the 1 Tablespoon of milk in another bowl to make the glaze. Top the cakes with the glaze and enjoy while they are still warm.
