I don’t think I posted a recipe on ecokaren before. But I wanted to share this recipe with you because I just made this cake today with Honey Crisp apples that my mom gave us and it was goodelicious – a word my daughter made up. We couldn’t possibly eat all these apples so I decided to make this cake and “use up” some apples. (I ended up using only three apples as these are HUGE)
This recipe comes from my hubby’s friend, Rod, who brings this Apple Hill Cake for my kids whenever he comes over for dinner. “It’s simple to make; almost too simple to screw up”, he says. But I did manage to screw up once and it came out too soggy. I think I used the wrong apples. The crunchy hard apples like Granny Smith or Honey Crisp might fare better than soft apples like Fuji or Red Delicious. Use the kinds of apples you’d make apple pies with. But no matter what apples you use, this easy apple cake won’t last long – have a piece before the crowd gobbles them up.

*Note: Brown sugar makes the cake darker. IF you don’t like the taste or the dark color, you can use the regular sugar or Turbinado sugar.
Enjoy!
