OMG APPLE CIDER TEA.So I had to buy it. And what better excuse than making apple-flavored cake? Anyhow it was downright scary at some points, but since it only took two days for the two of us to eat, I think it turned out fairly well.
1. Preheat the oven to 350 and cube your apples. Grease your pan(I used my fancy 9x13 glass one, thanks mom!) and throw in the apples, maybe a little lemon juice on top to stop them from going all brown. And whatever you do, don't do what I did and mistake the grease for soap suds then freak out and re-wash the glass like a crazy person.
...Obligatory apple chopping montage...
2. Heat your ½ cup water and let the tea bags steep for a while.
3. Stir together butter and sugar in a bowl. Add everything else up through milk in order, one at a time. Finally once your little bit of tea looks nice, stir it in. Warning: this looks AWFUL.
Ironically, this also looks like something out of my portfolio. Anyhow, pretend it isn't there and mix it in. Then, pour it over the top of your apple cubes and cook for around 35 minutes.
3. While it's cooking, all you need to do is make the maple glaze. Just stir all together, make sure it tastes vaguely like maple, and netflix some Law&Order:SVU. Woohoo, guilty pleasure!
4. When it comes out, pour the maple glaze evenly over the top and let sit for a few minutes. It will soak in and get extra moist. While it's still hot, put it in a cup and enjoy!
Needs pecans and some ice cream. Mmmmm...
