Apple Cake :: A Fall Tradition You Must Try

It was almost exactly two years ago that I ate an apple cake with a friend and went on a unstoppable hunt for a similar recipe in the middle of the night. This Swedish Apple Cake recipe is, by American comparison, a cross between a coffee cake and a pineapple upside down cake. Every time I make it I inevitably end up eating it for breakfast, lunch, and, if I’m being perfectly honest, dinner, too. I just love it! (But now I am hoping that my gym instructor is not too big a fan of my blog otherwise she will kick my booty tomorrow for sure!)

Seriously, though, this cake is such a nice treat and when it is baking the whole house smells like heaven! My son told me that it felt like Denmark, which really made me smile. I think, in his six year old mind, he was trying to find a way to describe the feeling of home. Isn’t it funny how a Swedish cake can make Atlanta, Georgia feel like home? I’m convinced it will do the same for you no matter where home is for you at the moment. So, grab a cup of coffee, and have a slice of apple cake this fall. I’m certain it is a tradition you will want to repeat every year!
