Stephanie Jamain, RD, Dietitian at Abbott Nutrition

INGREDIENTS

250 mL (1 cup) Butter Pecan Ensure^® Regular
300 mL (1 ¼ cups) Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced plus one extra apple, sliced thin (for top of cake)
5 mL (1 tsp) plus 1 mL (¼ tsp) apple pie spice, divided
250 mL (1 cup) plus 15 mL (1 Tbsp) sugar, divided
500 mL (2 cups) cake flour
125 mL (½ cup) whole-wheat flour
1 mL (¼ tsp) salt
5 mL (1 tsp) baking soda
5 mL (1 tsp) baking powder
80 mL (⅓ cup) vegetable oil
80 mL (⅓ cup) egg substitute or 2 large eggs
5 mL (1 tsp) pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lightly mist a 20-cm (8-inch) baking pan with non-stick vegetable oil spray.
Place diced apples in a microwave-safe container and microwave for
2 minutes. Cool.
In a small mixing bowl, make a spice-sugar blend by combining 1 mL
(¼ tsp) apple pie spice and 15 mL (1 Tbsp) sugar. Set aside for topping.
In another small mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients (flours, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and 1 mL [¼ tsp] apple pie spice). Set aside for batter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oil and 1 cup sugar for 1 minute.
Add egg substitute and vanilla and continue to whisk for 1 minute.
Add ⅓ of dry ingredient bowl and mix. Mix in ⅓ cup Ensure^® Regular. Repeat twice, adding ⅓ of dry ingredients and ⅓ cup Ensure^® Regular each time.
Scrape the inside surface of the large mixing bowl and fold in diced apples.
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Arrange sliced apples on top of cake batter and sprinkle top with spice-sugar blend.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the apple cake comes out clean.
Transfer to a wire rack and cool.
Slice and serve.
