Wet Apple Cake

• 2 Apples, i.e., Honey Crisp
• 1/3 cup Butter
• 1 2/3 cups Packed dark brown sugar
• 1 cup Homemade applesauce, like Bryan Voltaggio's bourbon and butter laced recipe in "Home"
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 1 2/3 cups Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Chopped dried apples
• 1 Confectioner's sugar
• 1 tablespoon Melted butter
• 1 tablespoon Boiled Apple cider
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 tablespoon Bourbon

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Grease a 13x9" pan. Coarsely grate 1 apple, down to core. Discard core. Core, peel and slice the other.
3. In a large bowl, stir together butter, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla until incorporated. Whisk together dry ingredients in a small bowl, then stir into wet, along with shredded apple. Pour batter into pan and place Apple slices on top.
4. Bake 35-40 minutes, until sides start to pull away. Batter will still be a bit loose in the middle.
5. Melt butter in a bowl, then stir in the rest of the icing ingredients. Pour over hot cake. Cool for a few minutes or completely.
