December | 2009 | this our life

Thanks so much to my friend Sarah, I got to try a delicious, simple apple cake!

Thursday and Friday nights are usually study nights for my hubby, so sometimes that means that I bring dinner to the Pastors College and pull him away to eat with me for a few minutes.

This past Thursday we had the amazing privilege to have a combined meeting with CJ and Carolyn Mahaney where we got to ask them any kind of questions we wanted to about life, marriage or parenting (most of the PC students have kids aside from us). It was such a helpful time! And because this meeting was at the church, I again brought him a little dinner and dessert =) Apple Cake! And it was sweet goodness, so I wanted to share it with y’all.

And the grand thing that was additionally grand about it is that it’s incredibly easy, and reasonably healthy for a dessert. (Note, use applesauce instead of oil).

And it was even better experience because I even got home in time to make this and enjoy a beautiful sunset at the same time =)

The only adjustment I made to the recipe, is that I added a few more spices to the mix — a little nutmeg, a dash of ginger, and little bit of ground cloves.And then, it’s a better idea to cook it in a bundt pan…but I couldn’t find mine, and I wanted to make sure it cooked right, so I thought i’ll treat it more like sweet bread and cook it in bread pans.

They turned out great =) and didn’t take quite a whole hour to cook (so keep an eye on it). Once you test it and your toothpick is clean =) that means yummy goodness is just waiting for your waiting taste buds to enjoy. mmmm.
