APPLE CINNAMON BREAKFAST CAKE
I love baking with apples and cinnamon when the first hint of fall arrives. A few of my recipes are handed down through the generations, so I’m thinking that many of my relatives enjoyed baking with apples as well. This recipe is quick, easy, delicious and impressive. In a little more than an hour, you will have a bakery quality cake for breakfast or dessert.
