Fall Apple Cake

Apple Season.

dun dun dun …

     

If you buy way too many apples and eat way too many apples. Well, now it is time to bake with apples. 

This is a recipe for apple cake. 

It is kind of like a bread… but with apples.

   

Just whip it up in a bowl, pour in a pan, and bake.  Once it is cooled, you cut it into squares.  

And it makes your kitchen smell like fall. 

Score.

- In a small mixing bowl, mix flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt with a whisk. Set aside.

- In a larger bowl, mix white sugar, apples, chopped nuts, egg and applesauce. Stir together with the flour mixture and pour into a square baking pan, or whatever pan you have.

- In a seperate skall bowl, mix brown sugar and white confectionars sugar together with a fork. I like adding oats to it.  

- Sprinkle mixture over the apple cake and bake for 32-35 minutes or until cake is browned.
