Ideally, please enjoy a slice of this delicious apple crumb cake recipe alongside the book - and live dangerously, friends! A Very Short History of Apple Crumb Cake Recipesįortunately, this year, Banned Book Week coincided with our serendipitous discovery of Luisa Weiss’s fantastic Classic German Baking, which so clearly revealed the German origins of this recipe. So, with this in mind, give In the Night Kitchen another read. Who knew?! In belated honor of Banned Book Week (September 26 – October 2), we’d like to celebrate Mickey and his very controversial but anatomically correct nudity (yes, it pays to have a urologist in the family) with this recipe. In a separate bowl or on a piece of parchment, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and. Some readers hate this book because of Mickey’s frequently naked state. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after the addition of each. In fact, the “living dangerously” is in reference to the controversy surrounding In the Night Kitchen. Arrange apple slices on top of cake batter. In a large bowl, combine oil and brown sugar with a whisk until combined.
Make the cake batter and pour into a cake pan. 2 Granny Smith apples (peeled and diced) Streusel 1/2 cup melted butter 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup brown sugar lightly packed 1 teaspoon cinnamon Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 Springform pan. Prepare the apple layer, by slicing apples and tossing them with lemon juice (to prevent browning) and spices. We also always wonder how Mickey (or really, any three year old boy) survived to adulthood. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir with a fork until it resembles crumbs. We always feel very relieved when we get to the end of the book. He also wears a cake batter suit, flies a dough airplane, and falls into an enormous jug of milk. As you may recall, he nearly gets baked in a cake. Now, you may be thinking that the “living dangerously” part of this recipe is in reference to Mickey’s (mis) adventures. This leaves time for the flavors to meld overnight. This is because the cake is best baked the night before you plan to eat it. We also call this cake “Mickey’s Cake,” after the mischevious hero of Maurice Sendak’s In the Night Kitchen. Want to live dangerously and bake a cake simultaneously? Well, this apple crumb cake recipe will allow you to do both.
