Every year after the family goes apple picking, I always make this cake. I am always open to trying new apple cake recipes, but this one is always at the VERY top of my list. My daughter was at a sleepover this weekend and I told her I was making apple cake and she begged me not to make it until Sunday when she came home. There is something about the smell that fills the house when this cake is baking and serving it warm with a scoop of ice cream. This cake is made with fat free cream cheese which gives the batter extra moisture. This cake is full of cinnamon flavor and so super moist. I am sure this cake will be on the top of your list as well.
