4 C water
2 C brown sugar
1/2 C butter, divided
1 C sugar
2 C flour
1 t nutmeg
1 t cinnamon
2 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t baking soda
1 C milk
1 t vanilla
1 C chopped peeled apples (optional)
1/2 C raisins (optional - NO :)
1/2 C nuts (optional)
Whipped cream (not optional)
Mix and boil together water, brown sugar and 1/4 C butter, set aside. Cream remaining 1/4 C butter and sugar. Sift dry ingredients and add alternately with milk to butter and sugar. Stir in remaining optional ingredients. Spread batter in greased 9x13 pan. Pour hot brown sugar and butter mixture over batter. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve with whipped cream.
**The original recipe from the Lion House has all the optional ingredients in it, but my kids voted them out. And....I have to be honest and say that the flavor doesn't even change without the apples. So it's up to you.
**This is often made on many a Sunday night during the winter. It's so yummy! And it was delish for us tonight to finish off one of Gray's birthday dinners! Happy 16th big guy!
