The other day I realized that since I have no plans to go apple picking this year, I better come up with a substitute apple activity to fill that seasonal need. Tracy Lee Karner had a yummy-looking apple cake recipe at her WordPress blog, here. I made up my mind to try baking it.
With the understanding that I, too, require only ingredients and utensils I happen to have handy, I baked it in an 8-inch-square glass pan instead of Tracy Lee’s 10-inch round — for 43 minutes instead of 40. I can’t be sure it was as yummy as Tracy Lee’s because I haven’t tried it in the 10-inch round, but it was pretty darn yummy.
P.S. You may have received random photos from me with no text. This will pass. I’m getting used to the Lumia 1020 phone Suzanne gave me for uploading pictures directly from the camera to the blog, which as you know, is part of Suzanne’s birthstone jewelry company, Luna & Stella. Sometimes I hit the wrong button.


I thought it was some kind of coded message … a new kind of signaling
That too.
I’m sure a square cake tastes just as yummy as a round one! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing it!
You don’t need to pick them yourself to enjoy apples, thank goodness! Looks good!
Apple recipes fit with the vintage themes of your blog. Things that bring back old days to me: apple cider, apple pie, apple butter, baked apple …
Yes! my grand-uncle and aunt had an orchard and sold apples, so they’re deeply entrenched in my genes, I think!
