What to do, what to do. The recipe called for two or three apples. How do you measure apples with dried fruit? I used four one-hand fulls. Think of it as fist pinch of apples. :)I then put the dried apples in water, and brought the mixture to a boil. I let the apples stay in the hot water for about 15 minutes. I followed this by draining off the excess water.
Next step was to mix the butter and sugar, then follow by adding baking powder, flour, and milk. I had the wrong fitting on the mixture (shown above). I changed to the wire whip to beat the mixture and get some air into it.
I doubled the cinnamon-sugar. the recipe called for me to put on top any cinnamon-sugar left over after coating the apples. I wanted to make sure I had some left over. 
Apple cake is done, and I added a glaze. The recipe did not call for a glaze, but you know me. I was surprised that the cinnamon-sugar on top did not melt. I will have to think this over. When you make cinnamon rolls, the cinnamon-sugar does melt. Interesting...
Nancy and I had a piece, and it was very good. My apples were mostly on top. The recipe talked about apple wedges and being poked into the batter. Next time I will put 1/3 of the batter in the pan, add the apples, followed by the rest of the batter.Maria, thanks for posting this wonderful recipe.

Maria, thank you for the recipe!! It was so good!! We froze 3/4 of it or it all would have been gone..... ;)
Mmmmm there's not much better than Swedish bakery foods! Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
OH MY...that looks really good.:)
Looks delicious!! I'm going to make it too :-)
With cinnamon rolls, the cinnamon sugar is mixed with butter. I don't think the oven really gets hot enough to do anything to the sugar.
