Instructions
- Soak two cups of dried apples overnight in water to cover. Drain and chop the apple rings into quarters, reserving the soaking water. Simmer 1 hour in molasses with the reserved apple-soaking liquid. Take off heat, lift the apple pieces out with a slotted spoon, and allow them to cool a little. Set aside the cooking liquid for another use (the apples will have picked up enough of the molasses flavor).
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a Bundt cake or tube pan. Cream the butter with granulated and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the eggs and sour milk; then stir in the apples.
- Sift the dry ingredients together: flour, baking soda, and spices. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg and milk mixture and mix just until no flour is visible. Pour into the tube pan and bake about 1 hour 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the cake comes out perfectly clean.
