Categories: Cakes, Fruits, Dairy
     Yield: 16 servings

    16 oz Dried apples; chopped
     5 c  Water
     1 c  (packed) brown sugar
     2 ts Apple pie spice
     1 c  Butter; softened
     2 c  Sugar
     2 lg Eggs; room temp

 Place apples and water in a 6 qt. stockpot; bring to a
 boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 40-45 minutes or
 until apples are softened, stirring occasionally. Mash
 into a chunky sauce. Stir in brown sugar and pie spice;
 simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes longer or until liquid
 is absorbed and sauce is thickened. Cool completely.

 Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.

 In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and
 fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well
 after each addition. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl,
 whisk flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to
 creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating
 well after each addition.

 Divide dough into 8 portions; shape each into a disk.
 Cut out eight 9" circles of parchment. With a floured
 rolling pin, roll out a dough disk to fit each parchment
 circle. Transfer to baking sheets. Bake until golden
 brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to
 cool completely.

 Place1 layer on a serving plate; spread with 2/3 cup
 filling. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cake layer,
 wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1-2 days or
 until layers soften. If desired, sprinkle cake with
 confectioner's sugar.
