DRIED APPLE CAKES 
1/2 lb. dried apples, chopped (3 c.)
4 c. water
1 c. sugar
1 recipe dry baking mix
1 1/2 c. sourdough starter
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 c. butter

Cook dried apples in 4 cups of water until tender. Drain and save juice. Measure 2 cups juice, adding water if needed. Mix 1/4 cup sugar with dry baking mix; stir in sourdough starter to moisten flour.

Turn out onto a floured surface, knead lightly. Pat or roll to a 12x18 inch rectangle. Sprinkle with apples. Roll, starting at short end; cut into 12 slices.

Put remaining sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter and the 2 cups of apple liquid into a large deep skillet. Bring to boil. Gently lower apple slices into hot syrup. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Makes 12 servings.

Amazing recipe, the quintessential home cooked comfort food. The dried apples hold their texture, and the sourdough is a nice touch too.
