Apple Cake

Bookmark and Share

I don't bake too often and when I do it is usually something I whip up from a box mix.  However, we had lots of apples left around the house and I was in the mood for something different.  I flipped through some cookbooks and came across this delicious sounding After-School Apple Cake in my FamilyFun Cookbook.  I found out it was so bad to bake from scratch and the result was a yummilicious treat.  And as a bonus I managed to snag some good pics as I went!
