(serves 6)
2 Gala apples
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 cup margarine/Butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon(if can tolerate)
Peel, then dice the apples into quarter-inch bits. Heat the water to boiling or almost boiling in the microwave or a small pan. Stir the fennel seeds into the water and set aside to cool. In a small, covered saucepan, cook the diced apples with 1/4 cup of the margarine over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook about 10 minutes until apples are thoroughly soft. Set apple mixture aside to cool also, for about 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. then grease and flour a 8-inch by 8-inch square cake pan. In a medium bowl, cream together the brown sugar and the other 1/4 cup of margarine. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and the apple mixture.
Strain fennel seeds from the water, reserving the water. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon together. Add the dry ingredients and the water alternately to the apple batter, mixing thoroughly. Pour into the cake pan and bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
