Can you hear it? Can you hear it?
I can! It’s the wind calling to me saying, “fall is coming!”
Okay, maybe the wind isn’t actually talking to me, but I do so love fall and am completely ready for its arrival.
Well, maybe I’m not ready for fall decorating and projects and Christmas breathing down fall’s neck.
But other than that……
I love sweater weather and finally slipping on the jeans I haven’t worn for three months. (Sure, maybe they didn’t really slip on and a tug of war did ensue, but that’s a whole ‘nother story!)
Since I am usually an “anything chocolate” dessert lover, I was surprised when I made this cake and absolutely adored it!
The apple cake recipe was a welcome treat and the glaze sets it apart with a wow factor!
The dough is unlike a regular cake mix. You’ll probably think you did something wrong and double check the recipe like I did!
Nope, you’re good. It’s just an extremely thick and gooey dough. Scrape it off the sides of the mixing bowl and make sure and taste it just in case.
You might even want to try it for breakfast!

Hello Marty! Last night I was looking for a fall cake for my daughter to take to work for their Thanksgiving dinner. I was so tired of the same old apple cakes covered in 2lbs of cream cheese frosting. Then I ran across your blog and “BAM”, there it was! An apple cake that let the apples shine thru & the glaze is over the top! It tastes like pralines but not overly sweet since it is a glaze not true icing. It was a giant hit at her workplace, she sent me a text to say they devoured it as soon as she got there so it never even made it to the dinner!! I can’t wait to make one for us to devour! Thanks for the awesome recipe & your blog is amazing!! May God bless you!
