Honey Tips
How Honey Is Created
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small sauce pan, heat 1/4 cup butter, honey, brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Simmer, stirring frequently until well combined, about 3 minutes. Pour into prepared pan. Arrange apple slices on top.
In a medium bowl, beat remaining 6 tablespoons butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a small bowl combine milk and Marsala. Add flour mixture and then milk mixture alternately to butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in chopped walnuts. Pour batter over apples.
Bake 35 – 40 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool on rack 10 minutes. Invert cake onto a serving plate.
