John Denver: Flemish Apple Cake
John Denver’s music was of the folk variety, especially his hits “Take Me Home, Country Roads” and “Rocky Mountain High,” but one of his favorite foods had a decidedly international name. Denver enjoyed Flemish Apple Cake,
a dessert made out of apples, flour, spices, and a hefty amount of butter.
John Denver’s Flemish Apple Cake
2 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut into eighths
¼ cup butter
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
¼ cup maple syrup
3½ cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1 cup honey
3 eggs, beaten
½ cup sour cream or yogurt
After sauteing the apples, season them with nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt before adding the maple syrup. Set those aside and sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ginger. Cream the butter and honey before adding eggs and sour cream (or yogurt) to the mixture. Then, mix the wet and dry ingredients together before folding in the apples. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
