Must watch video on High Fructose Corn Syrup

This video, Sugars: The Bitter Truth ,is a very very interesting presentation on sugar and high frctose corn syrup. It is a presentation given by an M.D. You really need to take the time to watch it. If not all at once then maybe over a couple sittings. It is about an hour and a half long.

I got this from a fellow blogger, Stumptown Savoury , I tell you, this information in the above video will blow you away!

Warm Caramel Apple Cake

Easy B.C. Recipe. I know alot of people like to make their cake from scratch. So if that is your preference ,then "Do It"

Serve this yummy apple upside-down cake warm from the oven. It's all made easier with Betty Crocker® cake and frosting.

Cake


1/2 cup butter or margarine

1/4 cup whipping cream

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped pecans

2 large cooking apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced (about 2 1/3 cups)

1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix

1 1/4 cups water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice

Topping

2/3 cup Betty Crocker® Whipped fluffy white frosting (from 12-oz container)

1/2 cup frozen (thawed) whipped topping

Caramel topping, if desired


1. Heat oven to 350°F. In 1-quart heavy saucepan, cook butter, whipping cream and brown sugar over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until butter is melted. Pour into 13x9-inch pan. Sprinkle with pecans; top with sliced apples.

2. In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, eggs and apple pie spice with electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Carefully spoon batter over apple mixture.

3. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Loosen sides of cake from pan. Place heatproof serving platter upside down on pan; carefully turn platter and pan over. Let pan remain over cake about 1 minute so caramel can drizzle over cake. Remove pan.

4. In small bowl, mix frosting and whipped topping. Serve warm cake topped with frosting mixture and drizzled with caramel topping.

High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Bake 45 to 50 minutes.

Substitution

You can use cinnamon for the apple pie spice for a slightly different flavor.

Success

Granny Smith and Braeburn are good apple choices to use in this recipe.
