Welcome to Apple Trees, this site is fanatical about anything to do with apples and apple trees. Our fanaticism started when we planted our dwarf apple tree in our small back garden. Gradually, this became an obsession and to cut a long story short, we bought some land and started our own orchard.

To say our apple trees are our passion would be an understatement. We will be gradually adding lots of photos and apple trees articles, including growing apple tree guides, guide on dwarf apples trees, apple recipes, apple tree growing and much more!

You will be able to buy apple trees here also! Apple trees for sale around the UK will be listed, as will review guides and how to buy apple trees.

   Two recipes for you – the first is Applesauce Cake that has lots of spices in it and the second is called Raw Apple Cake – my great-grandmother handed down one recipe and my grandmother handed down the second. They are wonderful.
   APPLESAUCE CAKE (very moist)
   1/2 c butter
   1 1/2 c sugar
   1 egg
   2 c flour
   1 1/2 c applesauce (my grandmother made her own)
   1 tsp cinnamon
   1/4 tsp nutmeg
   1/2 tsp cloves
   1 tsp vanilla
   1 tsp baking soda
   1 c raisins
   1/2 c chopped walnuts or pecans
   Cream together the butter and sugar. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves (not the baking soda). Stew the raisins in hot water to cover them just until they plump up. Don’t throw out the water. Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter/sugar mixture. Stir in the flour mixture just until moistened. Take 3 T of the hot water off the raisins and add the 1 tsp of baking soda to it, stirring until dissolved. Add that to the flour/butter mixture along with the raisins and nuts. Stir well. Pour into a sprayed pan – can be a sheetcake pan, 2 (8″) square pans, or your bundt pan. Bake in a 350º oven until a toothpick comes out clean – depending on the pan, can be between 25 minutes to 40 minutes so check with the toothpick.
   RAW APPLE CAKE
   3 c flour
   1 tsp salt
   1 tsp baking powder
   1 1/2 c oil
   2 c sugar
   3 eggs
   2 tsp vanilla
   3 cups (heaping) apples
   1 – 1 1/2 c chopped walnuts
   Sift flour, salt and baking powder. Cream sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla and combine with sifted mixture. Add apples and nuts and pour into a sprayed 10″ tube pan. Place in a COLD OVEN – yes!! COLD OVEN, turn on the oven to 350º and bake for 1 1/2 hrs. This is a drier cake but very good.

   Spiced Apple Cake
   A simple spice cake laden with fresh apples, this dessert can be made in no time. If guava jam is not easily found in your area, feel free to substitute plum, cherry or any preserves you have on hand. It’s also a terrific brunch cake which begs for a great cup of coffee.
   2 cups white sugar
   2 cups all purpose flour
   4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
   1 teaspoon salt
   2 teaspoon baking soda
   2 eggs
   1 cup vegetable oil
   1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
   4 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped (about 4 to 6 apples)
   1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
   Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch cake pan. Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Whip eggs until frothy, about 3 to 4 minutes then add oil and orange juice and mix thoroughly. Add dry ingredients and beat with whip at low speed until thoroughly combined.
   Fold in apples and walnuts and pour into prepared cake pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour or until firm on top. Cover with aluminum foil if top gets too brown. Cool on rack 5 minutes, then invert onto rack and cool completely. Serve with guava cream cheese topping spread over the top.
   Guava cream cheese topping:
   1/4 cup guava jam
   1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
   5 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
   Mash all ingredients in a bowl with a fork until light and fluffy.
