Re: Suggestions please
I dunno if you can simply make an eggnog cake and then add the stewed apples to the batter. Hopefully someone else will have a better idea.
Re: Suggestions please
*after re reading your original post, is it the stewed apples you would want to add to the cake? or the Eggnog that the apples were cooked in?
I think either way, an Egg or 2 would be called for, as that would be the binding agent. Maybe an egg and an egg white, or just egg whites?
Will be interesting to learn...

Re: Suggestions please
I've never heard of the product you're talking about: Advocaat. I did a google search on it, to find out what it's like and I'm wondering that with all the reducing you're talking about, if you'd drive the brandy right out of it?
My take on the kind of cake that you're envisioning is to do the following:
Go to King Arthur and get an Eggnog Extract, to add to your cake to give it an eggnog taste.
Saute the apples in brandy. Add them to the cake, either in chunks, at the bottom to be flipped, or on the top. YOUR choice.
Heat up the Advocaat and try Knox gelatin as the thickening agent, just a wee bit, not the entire envelope. Then, when the cake is cut and to be served, the thickened Advocaat is spooned over the top.
How's that sound?

I think I shall just put my foot forward and trust - what is the worst that could happen, a nice gooey mess that tastes good ;) ;)
I will report back
