  I have a confession to make, I do not like baked, apples. I think it’s the texture that turns me off. I do not care for apple pie, apple crisps, apple tarts, apple jams…nothing that has cooked apples. I like candy apples, I like the flavor of apples but I do not like cooked apples. My husband on the other hand does like cooked apples that’s why I made the cake to begin with. Now that I have made that clear I have to stay this cute little chunky apple cake might have changed my attitude apples. I found the recipe at Eat Better America and the reviews sounded promising so I thought I would give it a try. I did not change the recipe with was hard for me to do I normally change just able every recipe I come across. I’m glad I didn’t change a thing. This cute little chunky apple cake turned out better than I thought, considering I do like like baked apples. As it was baking the smell of cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar and apples filled the house, the smell was tantalizing, I could not wait until the 45 minutes was up! The recipe says to serve warm so that’s what I did, I let it cool for 10 minutes before I sliced into this mouth watering chunky apple cake. My first bite was delightful and I couldn’t wait for the next bite! You must try this cake it was so delicious, next I might eat it with a scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream! Give it a try and let me know what you think.
