Happy Autumn! Fall is just about here, and when I think of Fall, I think of apples being harvested, and shorter days with cooler weather. I also think about school just starting, children lining up to get on the bus, the smell of a newly sharpened pencil, the feel of a fat crayon or a bottle of glue in my fingers.<\/p>\n

I recently made an apple cake and my hubby loved it! Here’s the recipe if you’re interested. I used Granny Smith apples, but I’m pretty sure just about any kind of apples can be used!<\/p>\n

When it’s finished, enjoy a slice with a nice, cold glass of milk! Yum!

Apple Cake<\/o:p><\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

2 eggs
2 cups sugar
1\/2 cup oil
1\/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups flour
4 cups peeled, chopped, raw apples
1 cup chopped nuts (I used pre-chopped macadamia nuts)<\/p>\n

Combine all ingredients and pour into a 9″ X 13″ pan. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.<\/p>\n

Icing (optional) – I made the icing and placed it on the cake! It was good! I’d recommend using this cream cheese icing, but, if you’re out of cream cheese, you can try using vanilla\/buttercream icing instead.<\/p>\n

1\/2 stick butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1\/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
6 oz. cream cheese<\/p>\n

Mix until smooth. Spread over cake while still warm. Sprinkle chopped nuts over icing if desired.<\/p>\n

I want to say that I placed the nuts directly into my cake batter? But, I might be mistaken about that! I need to ask my hubby! I don’t recall sprinkling nuts on top of the icing, but I might have! It’s been a few weeks since I made this cake, so my memory might be a bit faulty! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
