This looks like a great way to enjoy apples.
Yum! That looks incredible; perfect for autumn.
That looks fabulous. I am going to sub dried cranberries for the raisins and make it very soon! Thanks for sharing . . .
What are baking raisins?
Yum-o! Apple Cider Glaze makes everything taste so good. I bet it’s fabulous with the raisins!
Mmm delicious! I can almost smell how good this would be just from the description-and I love apple cider too!
Since it’s still apple season here in N. Georgia, this will be a perfect treat to serve our guests as they enjoy that last bit of fall…I’m heading to the apple orchard today!
No need to convince me Sandie..even the title had me heading to the kitchen:D
Kevin – It is. I really enjoy finding recipes that use traditional ingredients in new ways, even in baked goods. They help me to appreciate and recognize any ingredient’s potential!
Katie – Thanks, I think so too!
Isabelle – That sounds wonderful! I considered doing that as well, since dried cranberries are a favorite of mine. Be sure to let me know how that substitution turns out…delicious I’m sure!
Lydia – Baking raisins are like regular raisins, only more moist. Their moisture content makes them ideal for use in baked goods as they don’t dry out, and have the ability to remain chewy and sweet.
I considered using golden raisins in this recipe as well (love them in baked goods too), but decided against them in order to maintain the contrast in colors. I love how the color of the baking raisins contrasts against the spiced color of the pound cake itself, and the apples as well. Interesting & delicious!
For more information on the different varieties of raisins, here’s a link to Sun-Maid raisins, which explains the different varieties. I think I’ll link it to “baking raisins” in the ingredient list above as well, in case others wonder the same thing!
Noble Pig – It is amazing how much wonderful flavor the Apple Cider Glaze imparts. I can’t imagine this pound cake without it!
Lorraine – I know. I can only be thankful this recipe makes enough to provide leftovers we can nibble on all weekend through!
Mary Jo – Wish I were going to the apple orchard today! Have fun & enjoy this pound cake—it’s addictive.
Val – Hope you enjoy it!
I never heard of “baking raisins” and by clicking on the baking raisins in your recipe…well I learned a lot about raisins. Thank you! This sounds like something I would love so hopefully my local supermarket will have those “baking raisins”, and some nice apples and cider.
how about i serve this after breakfast, with lunch, afternoon tea, during a coffee break, AND after dinner? and yes, i would greatly appreciate an extra drizzle of glaze every time.
You had me at Apple cider glaze! Yummmm:) Can’t wait to make this recipe!
This cake sounds fantastic and I agree that apple cider glaze is just perfection!
Denise – Most markets carry baking raisins, so I don’t think you’ll have any trouble locating them. And you’re welcome! I’m glad Inn Cuisine was able to provide information you found valuable.
Grace – That’s when I served mine!
Paula – Hope you enjoy it! Let me know how the recipe turns out for you.
Zoe – Thanks for visiting, and thank you for your comment. The apple cider glaze is just the icing on the cake…
I think I’m sold with the “anytime dessert” phrase. Yum.
Love your recipes – but frustrated that you do not set up an easy way to print just the recipe.
Actually, Jean, I’ve been working on that feature for a while. As timing would have it, the next recipe posted on Inn Cuisine will have a printable recipe link with it, as well as other recipes going forward. As for recipes already in the Inn Cuisine archives, I will try to add printable recipe links as time allows (tackling the most popular recipes first). Thanks for your comment.
Looks delish!! Just posted on C&V recently date-carrot-cinnamon bread that looks very alike
