Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tb Butter or margarine
1/4 c Honey
1/4 c Date sugar
1/4 ts Cinnamon
1 pn Cloves
1 pn Nutmeg
1 Apple -- peeled, cored,
-- sliced about 1/8" thick
1/4 c Butter or margarine
1 c Pitted dates
1/2 c Water
1/2 c Raisins
1/4 c Chopped walnuts or pecans
1 1/2 c Whole wheat flour
1 t Baking soda
1 t Baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt first 2 ingredients together in a 9"-square cake
pan by putting the pan with the ingredients into the
oven as it is preheating.

While the ingredients are melting, mix the next 4
ingredients together and then mix them into the melted
butter and honey. Lay apple slices in the syrup to
completely cover the bottom of the cake pan in an
attractive way. (You may need more than one apple if
you use a small one.)

Fill a 1-cup measuring cup with pitted dates, but
don't pack the dates into the cup. With the dates in
the cup, fill the cup with water, then pour both dates
and water into a blender. Add 1/2 cup more water into
the blender. Now blend till it forms a smooth, thick
paste. Add the 1/4 cup butter or margarine and blend
till totally whipped in. Put the blender mixture into
a mixing bowl and add the last 5 dry ingredients. Mix
just long enough to thoroughly blend in all the dry
ingredients. Pour this batter on top of apple slices
and spread evenly in the cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees
for 35 to 40 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in
the middle of the cake comes out clean. When done,
remove from oven and immediately turn the cake pan
upside down to empty out onto a serving platter.
