minutesThis cake tastes like the first thrill of Fall. It tastes of apples, spices and sweet. It reminds me of the days of apple picking when I lived in Boston and my apartment would smell so good as I made every sweet apple dish with loads of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and couldn’t wait for all this goodness to come out of my oven.
