This is one of my favorite cakes to make in the fall when the apples are plentiful. I try and mix it up with all different types of apples because each gives the cake it’s own unique flavor. You can make this at anytime of the year though, the fresher the apples, the better the cake. Whenever I take this to our monthly book club meetings, it is the first thing to go. I have had to share this recipe with just about everyone that has ever tried it. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Recipe Lion:
“The apple-cinnamon combination will make you nostalgic for your favorite childhood fall recipes.”
This is a great fall dessert, but you can enjoy it all year round too! Start a new tradition at your house this year.
