"<strong><em>Editor's Note:</em></strong><em>Capture the taste of fall with this recipe for Apple Cake by Alton Brown. This cake recipe is easy to make and boasts a generous portion of apples in every slice. Although you can definitely serve this cake after dinner (just top with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream), consider including it in your brunch menu for a truly decadent treat that everyone will love. As this recipe shows, you can never go wrong with <a href="https://www.cookstr.com/tag/Dessert-For-Breakfast" target="_blank">dessert for breakfast</a>! Don't be surprised if your brunch guests ask for second helpings, too.</em><br /> <br /> Another really old recipe from the Brown family books.<br /> <br /> <em>Notes:</em><strong></strong>Baker’s Joy is a spray lube that actually contains flour. So when some recipe (none herein, I hope) demands that you grease and flour, you can do it all with the push of a button. It’s the only manufactured pan release application I use in baking—and it’s especially good for Bundt pans, muffin tins, and any pan with hard-to-get spots. If you can’t get your hands on some, then there’s…<br /> <br /> AB’s Kustom Kitchen Lube. Yep, make this stuff up right there at home. Just toss 2 cups of shortening into the ol’ stand mixer with 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour and mix it on low, just until the shortening sucks up the flour. Then hike the speed up to medium to aerate it a bit for easy application. Store it in a resealable plastic container and use it to lube up anything and everything. It’s good on just about any type of pan...."
