What three things come to mind when you think of Fall? For me, it is: Harvest, Pumpkins and Apples! Lots and lots of delicious apples, maybe even a fun trip to an orchard. My husband is not a fan of pumpkin food…it stems back to kindergarten when his teacher made him eat a sugar-free pumpkin bar. Ha! Since then, he has swore off anything pumpkin. So, for me instead of a house bursting with the smell of pumpkin during the fall months, we have the scent of apples and cinnamon, which I will gladly take. This apple cake recipe is my sister’s. She and her husband are extraordinary hosts, and this is on their hosting menu during the Fall months, so you can imagine how delicious it is!
A moist apple cinnamon inside with a crispy, sugary crumble topping. Top it with some homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and it is a PERFECT Fall dessert….or even breakfast if you live under our roof. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
