Soul food from the deep south of the US, this is the carrot cake
you've been waiting for - moist, luscious and just about foolproof to
make.
Grate (in a food processor for speed) 1 cup of apples and 1 cup of
carrots. Tip into a mixing bowl and add 2 cups plain flour, 2 cups
sugar, 3 eggs, 1 cup chopped pecan nuts, 1 cup oil, 2 teaspoons
vanilla essence, 2 teaspoons baking soda. 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1
teaspoon salt. Mix very thoroughly with beaters for up to 5 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a greased cake tin and bake at 180 C for 45
minutes or until the cake comes away from the sides of the pan and a
skew inserted in the middle comes out clean.

| Apple Recipes- Fried Apple Pies |
|
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces dried apples
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 can (10 ounces) refrigerated flaky biscuits
- vegetable oil, for frying
|
Combine apples and water in saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and let cool, mashing slightly if pieces are large. Stir in sugar and butter; set mixture aside.
Roll each biscuit into a 5-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
Place about 2 tablespoons apple mixture on half of each biscuit circle. To seal pies, dip fingers in water and moisten edges of circles. Fold in half, making sure edges are even. Using a fork dipped in flour, press edges firmly together to seal. Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch into a heavy skillet, or use deep fryer. Fry pies in hot oil (370°) over medium-high heat golden, turning once. Drain well on paper towels.
Makes 10 little pies. |

To prepare salsa, combine sugar, cider vinegar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add half of the chopped apples stirring well; cover and reduce heat. Cook gently until apples are soft and mash with a potato masher until almost smooth. Add cranberry sauce to apple mixture and let cool slightly. Add the remaining apples, scallions, jalapenos, and cilantro if desired. Serve with Apple-Turkey Burgers. Refrigerate any remaining salsa for up to 3 days.
To prepare burgers, combine turkey, apple, salt, pepper, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a patty. Lightly coat a large skillet or grill pan with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Cook turkey burgers 6 to 8 minutes per side or until done.
