 Categories: Cakes, Fruits, Dairy
      Yield: 16 Servings

     16 oz Dried apples; chopped
      5 c  Water
      1 c  Brown sugar; packed
      2 ts Apple pie spice
      1 c  Butter; softened
      2 c  Sugar
      2 lg Eggs; room temperature
      2 ts Vanilla extract
      6 c  A-P flour
      3 ts Baking powder
      1 ts Baking soda
    1/2 c  Buttermilk
           Confectioners' sugar
           - (optional)

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

  Set oven @ 400°F/205°C.

  In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5
  to 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 to 12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire
  racks to cool completely.

  Place one 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 to 2 days or until layers soften. If
  desired, sprinkle cake with confectioner's sugar.
