After a January filled with chicken soup days, I was looking forward to having comfort and sweet days in February. With this in mind I browsed through one of my latest additions to my forever growing cookbook collection, Great Coffee Cakes, Sticky Buns, Muffins & More 
This wonderful book, from ‘Chapter 1 – Perfect Pound Cakes’ to ‘Chapter 9 – Streusels, glazes, frostings and spreads’ as well chapters on equipment, ingredients and techniques is a jewel. It was difficult to choose a recipe among the tempting pound cakes, babkas, coffee cakes, muffins, but finally I couldn’t resist the ‘Apple Walnut Caramel Kuchen’. A wonderful mixture of apples, caramel sauce and walnuts in a buttery, nutty crust.
This delicious kuchen is made in 2 steps:
- First the crust is prepared and refrigerated while the topping and filling are prepared.
- Then the cake is filled with the caramel sauce/apple/walnut filling topped with the buttery, streusel topping.
While the cake was baking, a wonderful aroma filled the kitchen. I was waiting patiently with fork in hand!
After the first bite I knew that definitely I would be baking this cake again.
I did not get permission to list this recipe, but you can find it at Apple Walnut Caramel Recipe.
Great Coffee Cakes, Sticky Buns, Muffins & More is a must have in your cookbook collection if you are a baker at heart.
This looks wonderful!! And it sounds like my kind of cookbook!!
I just barely got that cookbook on a whim! Now I want to try that recipe. Mmmmm….
I’m so glad you bought the book! The cake looks gorgeous!
For anyone coming across this blog years later like i have jsut now – this recipe can be found by searching for this book at Amazon and clicking on the “look inside” button – the whole recipe there! yum!
Amazon removed the “look inside” option for this book by Carole Walters. But if you Google the recipe with Catrole Walters named attached, you can still obtain it. By the way, why didn’t Liliana just put it on her site to begin with? Geezzzz
Phil, thanks for pointing that out to me. I now have included the link.
