Fall brings with it so many traditions. It’s the time of school carnivals, pumpkin patches, Friday night football, and, of course, Thanksgiving. With the first dip in temperatures, we pull out spices customarily ignored throughout summer. Soon, our homes are filled with the comforting aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, star anise, and cloves.
This delicious Fresh Apple Cake recipe is an ideal dessert for gatherings–whether morning coffee with a friend, a treat for your book club, or a family dessert. Being a Bundt-style cake, it’s easy to transport and slices perfectly; it also freezes well.
Fall baking is an excellent time to involve children in the kitchen. As an easy recipe to prepare, Fresh Apple Cake is a great dessert to prepare with your junior chef.
