Apple Cake

Fall is my favorite season. As it starts to get cooler and the air conditioner is no longer needed in our apartment I start to think about baking more. I love it when the kitchen smells delicious and the oven warms the whole room. Another favorite thing about fall is apples. Apple picking, apple cider, apple pie, apple cake. Yum! This is a super easy recipe for apple cake that I got from my former roommate Jen. It's moist, crisp and sugary on the edges and takes only about 10-15 minutes to get it in the oven.
