Best Spring Hill Ranchs Spiced Apple Cider Batter Recipes
SPRING HILL RANCH'S APPLE CAKE
Here's a cake that is an autumn tradition in and around the Hill Country of Texas. Actually, I'm sure they got the idea from the apple orchards we have here in the canyon! Anyway, it is an absolutely delicious cake you can have for dessert or for breakfast. I have actually never made this in a 9x13 pan, but I imagine it would...

Steps:
- 1. Adjust an oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350°(365º above 6,000 feet). Lightly grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or (if you must) a 9"x13"x2" pan.
- 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, apple sauce, melted butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Peel, core and finely (≈3/8") chop the apples, stirring them in as you go. Stir in the pecans.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon until everything is well combined. Make a "well" in center of these dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold the dry and wet ingredients together just until the flour is dampened. You will find this to be a very thick batter, In fact it's more like a cookie batter. And while it may seem like there are way too many apple pieces, but it all works out in the end.
- 4. Turn the batter into your prepared skillet or baking pan, patting down the top so it's even. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is lightly browned and an inserted knife comes out almost clean.
- 5. Let the cake cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 30 minutes before serving. Think seriously about serving this cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and/or cinnamon spiced whipped cream.
SPRING HILL RANCH'S SPICED APPLE CIDER BATTER
My notes say this recipe was gleaned from a number of sources, so I don't know who to give all the credit to. Whoever it is, I think perhaps a sainthood might be in order. Yep, this spiced cider batter is that heavenly! The use of brown sugar adds a wonderful depth and touch of molasses, and the butter adds...well, butter! And though the batter itself is non-alcoholic, I'm sure a shot of rum or good brandy added to your mug would be just fine.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the brown sugar and butter until they are nearly combined. Add in the cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and pulse to thoroughly mix. Place the batter in an airtight container and refrigerate it until it has slightly hardened, about 3 hours. It will keep for at least a week in the refrigerator or for a short eon in the freezer.
- To serve, place 1 heaping Tablespoon of the batter into a mug and fill the mug with simmering apple cider. That is CIDER, folks, not apple JUICE! Garnish.
SPICED CIDER
I first concocted this beverage years ago for my son on a chilly New England day. He's grown now, but he still enjoys this tangy cider whenever he comes for a visit. -Debbie Terenzini, Lusby, Maryland
