Fresh Granny Smith Apple Cake
November 04, 2013
Oh the joy of Fall and a recipe for Fresh Apple Cake!
The weather is cooling, the nights are becoming longer, fragrant candles are burning and our Harvest Tree is glowing!
These are all just a few of my favorite Fall happenings.
I am sure you have a list as well.
I just want to hunker down by the glowing fire with my favorite cozy blanket and a little treat.
The hubby and I have been striving to trim our waste lines and yet not giving up totally on some fresh Fall treats.
(This recipe does have fresh apples in it, so I can fudge a little on the total truth!😉)
I think I may have found the perfect cake to satisfy our sweet tooth without going over the top.
I think that this just might be one of the desserts that I make for our
Thanksgiving meal.
