Apple Cake
This apple cake is actually a cross between a cake and a bread. It’s the perfect dish to take when you’ve been asked to bring a finger food. Not too rich and not too sweet, it blends both fruit and protein into a moist cake.
We served this recently at a church Christmas dinner to go along with our theme. It was indeed a hit!
The recipe makes two cakes, so you can serve one and freeze the other for a later time. Be sure not to overbake or it will be dry.
