The autumnal equinox is just a few days away and if you're anything like us, you're dreaming of cooler temps, trips to the pumpkin patch and apple orchards, and all the yummy seasonal baked goods fall brings with it.
Fresh Apple Cake is one of those yummy recipes shared by our Kitchenware manager, Xandra. She's been making this family recipe for years and her expertise and years of practice making this recipe really do show in the delicious moist cake that bakes up beautifully in our NordicWare Harvest Bounty Loaf.
Fresh Apple Cake can also be baked in two 3-cup NordicWare bundt pans. The Norpro Apple Master makes quick work of peeling, coring, and slicing apples.
NordicWare 3-cup Bundt Pan $12.99 | Apple Master $35.99
