Mom's Fresh Apple Cake
I promised I would get the recipe posted later in the week, so a promise is a promise. We pretty much devoured all those apples, but I did manage to hide a few to bake this delicious cake.
When mom makes this apple cake she doesn't top it with a glaze. That was just a perk on my part. She usually places the pecan halves right on top as soon as she inverts the cake onto a serving plate. I myself loved the >addition of the icing and will be adding it from here on out.
Once the cake was in the oven, the cinnamon and spice aromas lingered through the whole house. It was at that moment that I knew Fall had arrived. I'm sad to say that all the apples are gone, but we are hoping to have the chance to go apple picking at Henrietta Creek Orchard. We haven't gotten to go the last couple years because there just hasn't been any apples to pick, but I called and they said possibly in October {fingers crossed}.
Until then I will continue to buy my apples at the grocery store, so I can enjoy all my favorite apples recipes.
I'm excited to announce that my mother in laws apple cake made part of a full page feature in the November 2012 Issue of Texas Live Magazine. What a honor for me and my mother in law.
